I have large tranny cooler from ats an there's electronic fan on it. But my egt temp sensor is after turbo an my gauge reads up to 1000 without a load witch is prolly a Lil hot haha an since its after T prolly add another 200 300°? We have a ranch an my dad has stock 6.0 with EGR delete I put on it an my 7.3 will keep up with him an I can pass him under load of cattle an he gets the aluminum trailer while I run the longer heavyer steel trailer.

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

Thanks for your input. Im going to open check book. I want to get good parts not half a** it. For turbo use i guess not really sure how to answer that but there are alot of winding hills an long tall pulls. What is the degree of a stock hpop. What will a 17° do. i really wana
Wake my 7.3 up without breaking tranny input output shafts. My 7.3 has 106,000 miles on it know.

Would like to intercool it.

If you want to make any power and tow then its not optional, its mandatory

-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

Not Farmer's Diesel, or any other backyard mechanic who machines his plungers and barrels with a flap wheel.

Judging by the redundancy of his posts I'll just lump him in with dsberman and the oil filter guy.

Except for lug nuts on late '90's International class 8 trucks apparently.
Wish I would have realized that before I destroyed the threads with a 1" drive breaker bar and a 6' long cheater pipe
