Tell me what you think.

I have a 2002 F350 with forged rods. I drive it back and forth to work and tow with it regularly. Current mods are 6637, 38r, high flow outlet, Warren trans, 6.0 trans cooler, DI regulated return, DI stainless up pipes, 4" turbo back exhaust and beans tunes. I want to go a little bigger, but I need some input.

This is what I'm thinking:
PIS 175/80%
T500
Gen 2 Wicked wheel
Walboro gsl392

Does anybody see a problem with this? Should I add head studs, valve springs, and/or pushrods? Anything I'm forgetting?

That seems like it would make a pretty sweet setup. I don't know a lot about PIS injectors, but I know No-Limit and CSIPSD seem to like them.

From my understanding, a good stock HPOP should keep up with those injectors with the correct tuning.

Studs, springs, and rods are good. That being said, you're doing this to a PMR engine. I wouldn't throw those rods at my worst enemy. Choose your tuner wisely and be prepared for a good look into the block without removing the pan.......

But...... Some PMR engines last a long time at the power levels you're looking at. You should be in the low 400's in horsepower.

Have fun!

I forgot to mention that I have forged rods. Just edited my original post. Thanks!

Skip the Walbro pump... Failure prone and not rated for diesel...

I'd skip the HPOP for now, I dont think you will need it with a set of 175's...

I can not say enough good things about Tim and the Crew at P.I.S injectors...

Over 120k on PMR's with a 38R and 160's in my wifes excursion... I cant express how important good tuning is to making PMR's live. Of course her HP level is below what most would consider dangerous (370hp) so....

So stick with a stock fuel pump, or go a differnt route?

If you find it cheaper somewhere let me know...

That is the OEM pump and will supply all the fuel you need for 175cc injectors.

PMRs can live.
I have a guy running 250/200s a 38r on stock head bolts. Push rods springs and fuel system.
Street tune did 489. Race tune did 513. And in a reg cab with no box it ran 12.5-12.6 in the 1/4.

Been abusing it since the beginning of this year.
I know it could go any day. But it has lived for several months. At a power level most would be afraid to run one pass with.

Just need to hold timing off and ramp in slower
