97 7.3 ATS diesel
I have a 1997 7.3L farm truck that I use to haul cattle and am looking to improve its performance. It currently has a cold air intake, 3" down pipe with a 4" straight pipe exhaust and a TS 140hp chip. I have recently installed an ATS 5 disc convertor, a Transgo tugger kit, and an ATS lockup Commander. It has the large ATS tranny cooler with an electric fan on it. I have my EGT probe installed after the turbo and it runs about 1000* empty. I can easily out pull my dad's 6.0. blah blah blah.
1) I'm really interested in injector upgrades. What would you recommend?
2) Since my EGT gauge is post turbo - how hard should I push it? What do you think my pre-turbo temps might be?

Do you see how that can all be one post and be made to be easily understood? That will get you the assistance you require around here. Not trying to be a dick, but 4 posts with scattered information and a derailed thought train is just flat painful and this is not the first time you have posted like this. We want to help, but help us help you.
what do you want to spend?
how much turbo do you want to use?
the beauty of these engines is you can tune any injector down.
if I wanted to do a mild build I would go with a new stock 17° hpop and 238 hybrid injectors.I would have to do more research to choose 100% or 200% nozzles
the canned 140 tunes do not make near that on a 97 due to small stock injectors, iirc the difference between 100 and 140 is more in the transmission programming then in engine hp
160/30, efuel, intercooler, modded h2e, good 17* hpop
-160/a nozzle of your choice (from a REPUTABLE builder)
-Bosch 17* HPOP
-E-fuel
-Intercooler (DIY or pony up for a kit)
-66mm drop in turbo (Beans/Barder/Dyno Proven/Vision Diesel)
-Custom tunes
Hands down the best hp/$ setup you can do with an OBS and be reliable.
Oh, and move that pyrometer to the manifold. This isn't the 90's
Reputable builder?

How the hell has no one corrected egt placement....
Good god man...move that egt to the drivers side manifold before you melt a piston or two...
