I know I know...6.9 the slug of the diesel world. :pointlaugh: but I was wanting to add a "strait pipe" exhaust and some kind of cold air intake? Ive heard of turning up the injector pump on these IDI's but have to watch out for the EGT's, I have a pyrometer and just need to install it. Ive owned several PSD's but never an old IDI diesel. So this is kinda new to me.

Im not trying to go fast or spend a chit load of $$$$ but just to get a lil ass behind this dino, And some extra hauling power.

From what ive followed a couple guys are making around 300-375 hp and around 6-700 lb-ft of torque from lowered compresson "built" 6.9 and 7.3 idi's. which is pretty insane.

To me an idi is a lot like a efi ford 300L6; not a lot of power to be made unless you get real creative, not a lot of aftermarket for it, cheap, reliable, and inline low end torque, and they usually get decent mileage.
