I don't see any reason why it won't finish real strong in last place

Not rooting, nor do I think he should have been voted in over JD or the excursion.. But could you imagine the irony if he actual pulled off some kind of wazoo miracle and won LOLLOLLOL.

I wish I understood why a bunch of "Ford" guys rip on the 7.3 so much...

The number speak for themselves. If you want a tow rig to pull a trailer for 500k miles, great.

Wanna drag race, dyno, and sled pull with the big dogs you gotta step your game up a bit.

If anything we're ripping on the people that voted for the wrong truck.

Because it took a spot that couldve been used by a competitive truck is all. Its a nice build. But nothing close to the caliber needed to compete in DPC.

What does that 7.3 have for fuel and air?

Not necessarily ripping on the 7.3 itself. Just sucks to see that truck taking a spot in such a big competition where 3 brands brawl for top spot. No one really said sh1t about David Heafner's 7.3 because it had a chance.... It was built for competition; every weakness it had was addressed.

It was lowered and it was light, so it didn't have to make that up with more power. This truck is NOT a competition truck and it's big, and it's 200hp behind the 2nd to last dyno number. Just like the fummins, it's kind of a waste of a Ford spot IMO.

Cool truck, clean truck, probably a blast to drive and sled pull at his local track and stuff, but NOT a competitive truck in a national competition.

Pius spec'd compounds (very similar to the WOP lightening at one point) and 400/400 injectors if I remember correctly.

Should be 700 on fuel at sea level... One would think at least.
