I finally adjusted the throttle linkage and high idle screw and all i have to say is wow ( i left a little screw to act as a just in case). It made the truck totally different. I would say its almost as much difference as before i started throwing parts on it from stock. I can finally use that rpm that the 3200 should have given me, i was missing out on about 400-500 rpm. But as in all good things there is a bad, and as most can guess what my problem is, i have a little excessive heat. at WOT i can go from about 500* to about 1400* in a blink of an eye. Now of course i can control this with the throttle but that kinda of sucks. I have the fuel screw all the way in BTW. I use my truck not as my daily driver but I do tow with it, my tractor about 8,000 lbs, and my tracked skid steer about 11000. lbs, plus trailer. As another BTW i am running about 37psi at WOT.
What should i do?

These are some things I had in mind.
- PDI exhaust mani, ported
- 7.3 intercooler
- maybe a cam i was thinking helix 2 but i am unsure that it'll be worth it.
- water meth system but i don't want something else to deal with if i can get away with it.

Some other things unrelated that i would like yall's opinion on.
-longer fuel screw but i dont think this will do anything since im already all the way in and if it does im sure itll add to my heat problem.
- 60# valve springs for some safety
- low pressure piston lift pump

I would like to thank you guys, thanx to you i am more than happy with my truck and continually the guys around here off that think the old first gens turds.

Back out the fuel screw or upgrade the turbo. powerstroke IC won't hurt any.

sounds like you need more air. Bigger turbo will make a huge difference over a stock one. A bigger intercooler/pipes does help. I would get it cooled down enough before you started to add more fuel.

I say turbo too. That's too much boost for a H1C. Way out of its map

Well I don't have a stock turbo, I have a pdr modified hx35. Do you think something like a hx40 or s300 or what. I would like to keep the low end spool up.
