7.3 low on power

I guess the next question is what do you want to do with the truck? I mean, do you want it to run 75-80mph comfortably or are you shooting for a 100mph truck?

You need to put that turbo and intercooler on there and then turn up the fuel. I'd ditch that restrictive muffler too. With a turbo, you don't really need one anyway.

Derrick's diesel rebuilt the pump in Barrie Ontario..I guess they did not test it then, the rev limiter was raised to 3400rpm ( I would have not know this if it wasn't for the forum) it made a big difference. I am trying to get more power so it's not such a dog on the hills....we have almost worn out the 4way flashers out. I might try to install the intercooler tomorrow and then figure out where the turbo will mount.

Cam swap! Go get one of typ4's regrinds, add turbo, turn up fuel.

That extra rpm sure made a difference with a load on. What is a typ4's regrind?

PM typ4 about the specs and pricing. These engines are really cam limited, and Russ' regrind will wake the truck up. Just install and go. You will like it.
