Aric I doubt you'll get an argument that the PSD has more power potential, and they are great engines, plus doesn't sound like the 7.3 is too bad to work on, I bet it would be really easy if you had all the diagnostic software on your laptop with an easy way to plug into the engine's computer. I like and may someday own a 94-97 PSD, but I really like the IDI and hope I will always be able to have one. When the time comes to build an engine, it is gong to be sick. I know I'll never keep up with your modded powerstrokes or anyone else's but I think 300-maybe even 325 is very doable and still have some durability(crank numbers.... not wheels) these things are just not going to be getting any more plentiful but I think unless the government bans them we'll still have a niche of IDI parts both stock and performance.
