Its great to see the 7.3L in the big power. Unfortunately, you can probably count the number of 7.3L trucks above 600 hp on one hand, which is a shame when you consider how long the 7.3L has been out.

The 7.3 stroke would be my next pick under the cummins if you could get power out of them. Would rather see an IH motor than an Isuzu do good. Hopefully he will be at scheid, and run good. Those 7.3's are good motors, but i hate the 6.0 strokes with a passion.

Cool vid. Just doesn't have the same appeal as the 6-in-a-row, don't 'cha know

gotta respect the time, money, dedication, money and money it must take to push that kind of fuel with a 7.3. Did you see the pic of his new con-rods in his sig

Lots of money for sure. Seems it would be easier to swap a Cummins into the Furd then bomb it. Heck he would still have a Furd truck.

Didn't see the pics of the rods though.

Omg now that is just great...and then when the " Dummins boys" come out to play we show them all about their powerjokes -.- Raced a 7.3 out of a stoplight the other day and beat him pretty good....he was modded too, that was the best part.

"last I checked, Scheids was open to all trucks that wish to show. Because the Ford truck turn out is generally low isn't a fault of the "dodge boys". There's people who talk about how strong their trucks are and then there's people who actually go show how strong their trucks are. "

at least one of them knows what's up, had to look for a LONG time to find that comment in between all the "Dummins" level quotes though. That stupidity thing seems to be a recurring theme with the Ferd guys. oh well, gives us someone to pass when the highway gets boring or there's a hill. or a trailer. or....
