120cc on вЂ™99-вЂ03 engines and 95cc on вЂ™94.5-вЂ™97 models), will support 350rwhp and wonвЂ™t kill the factory turbocharger.

These injectors, built by Full Force Diesel, flow a maximum of 180cc of fuel (vs. The price shown above can be had through Full Force Diesel, and features Gearhead Automotive Performance tuning-some of the best custom tuning on the market. If custom tuning sounds more expensive, itвЂ™s because it is-but itвЂ™s a necessity that shouldnвЂ™t be overlooked. However, once you bump up on injector size, custom tuning is required in order to get the most out of them. *Budget Buster: Edge Insight CTS2 monitor w/expandable EGT probe (instead of analog gauges and A-pillar pod) = $550 $2,500 Budget (350rwhp) Custom-Tuned TS Performance 6-Position Chip: $325.00Д«eyond the big performance gains realized by installing an off-the-shelf chip, larger injectors are the next step in noticeably improving power on a 7.3L. Strictly Diesel and DieselSite offer different versions that accomplish the same thing-they trick the MAP sensor into believing only 22-23 psi is making it into the engine. Much more of an issue on вЂ™99-вЂ™03 7.3Ls than on earlier models, the factory PCM will pull fuel (de-rating your power) if it sees approximately 24 psi of boost. Speaking of boost, this product will let you build more than 24 psi without the engine defueling.

Auto MeterвЂ™s Ultra Lite series pyrometer (0-1,600 degrees), boost (0-35 psi), transmission temp (100-250 degrees) gauges and a three-gauge pod are reflected in the price shown above.

EGT, Boost & Trans Temp Gauges: $410ДЄnalog gauges along the A-pillar are definitely old-school and can be a pain to install when you factor in all the wire-stringing, but it is a cheaper way to keep an eye on key vitals than going the high-tech digital monitor route. They are aluminized, so they wonвЂ™t last as long as the stainless steel versions, but those of you living in the rust belt can still expect to get 5-6 years of use out of them. 4-inch Turbo-Back Exhaust System: $285Д«oth MBRP and Diamond Eye offer 4-inch diameter exhaust systems in this price range. Six different tunes are available via turn knob and can be switched on-the-fly. Advertised as capable of adding 140hp, most Super Dutys will see a 100 to 120hp gain at the wheels, while F-series trucks will see gains of 80 to 90hp. This chip has been a mainstay in 7.3L performance for more than 15 years and is the ultimate entry-level power adder for any вЂ™94.5-вЂ™03 Ford. The labor to have these parts installed has purposely been excluded.

Most of the items listed in these budgets are stuff that you and a buddy or novice mechanic could install in a weekend.

Each budget assumes youвЂ™re starting new, with a bone-stock truck.

Considerable money can be saved or spent elsewhere once the clutch has been upgraded in trucks with manual transmissions.

If you plan to tow a lot or pursue more horsepower than a chip provides, an intercooler is highly recommended to help control EGT and reduce intake temps.

Early 7.3Ls did not come from the factory with an intercooler.

(The later engines benefitted from an electronic lift pump, higher flowing injectors and вЂ™99.5-вЂ03 models utilized a higher volume high-pressure oil pump).

The вЂ™99-вЂ™03 versions of the 7.3L used in Super Dutys offer more performance potential than вЂ™94.5-вЂ™97 engines.

Many of them were produced more than 20 years ago, so donвЂ™t expect everything to be in perfect condition (injectors, fuel pump, transmission, turbo).

In our next installment, weвЂ™ll show you how to budget-build your 6.0L Power Stroke. These combinations are designed to allow you to enjoy the added power indefinitely. After all, plenty of engines can make big power-once.

Keep in mind that the power recipes outlined here are designed to provide you the best bang for the buck without sacrificing longevity. And because tens of thousands of the near-2 million produced are still on the road, we decided to start with the patriarch of Power Strokes: the venerable 7.3L.ДЇrom entry-level mods to combinations that yield as much as 450rwhp, weвЂ™ll show you how far $1,000 to $10,000 will take you on a 7.3L Power Stroke. However, for many of us, living on a budget doesnвЂ™t leave a lot of disposable income for our toys, which is exactly why weвЂ™ve put together our budget-build series for diesel trucks. ItвЂ™s normal for the simple installation of a chip to unlock an extra 100hp and 200 lb-ft. Everyone likes adding power on a budget, right? Due to the ease at which horsepower and torque can be added, diesel heads are some of the most spoiled enthusiasts on the planet.
