02 Excurion HPOP

[thesieberts]

Hey y'all. My "non-serviceable" plug on my hpop is leaking. I have an '02 Excursion w/ the 7.3L. I have decided that at this point it will be a good opportunity to upgrade the hpop rather than putting the longer plug in. I'm thinking about the Adrenaline. Not looking for something extreme as it's the wife's "bus" as we call it. We have the following mods on it: K&N intake, 4" MBRP to a 5 inch tip and the Edge Juice w/ attitude tuner. I think the tuner did the stock hpop in, but it's a good excuse to upgrade it anyway. Just wanted to know some opinions on the Adrenaline vs. any other mild hpop upgrades (600-1000 bucks or so). Not planning on injector upgrades, but would like to go better than stock on the hpop for reliability and possible future upgrades. Any thoughts? Thanks guys

when the srp1 come back out it will be 899 and carry a lifetime warranty. has 100% new internals and will flow much more than an adrenaline. please drop the edge, they are tough on trannies. your wife prolly isn't hard on it but still they aint easy on them

If i loose my edge, which should i replace it with? I was recommended to have Tony Wildman write a tune for me, but which tuner does that require me to use? (if that's what I should do)

[bruce51d]

most all tuners use a ts chip as their hardware. tony is good, you also have swamps, beans, gearhead, tyrant, php, and a few others. all will be much better than the edge. edge evolution isn't terrible but the juice is really bad

I reckon that would be a Tony Wildman chip huh? lol.

I looked on whitesdieselperformance.com and they have the HPOP in stock. I think that I'm going to order it. I've read a ton of posts and you've had knowledgeable responses in most threads i've read. I trust in your advice. Thank you.

Should I replace my IPR at the same time? I have 171,000 miles (give or take 500). Anything else I should be replacing? (aside from my K&N filter to a 6637)

[bruce51d]

i don't have an srp1, but only because it wasn't out when i did my stuff, but i would buy one in a heartbeat

[bruce51d]

well i saw on whites site that they offer tony's and swamps chips so they might give you a package deal. i think you can get an ipr rebuild kit but if you can't its always nice to start with a new ipr and icp

I shot the sales dept. an email. I appreciate the help!
