About the same as anyother 7.3... 650-750... With a fully built top end, bottom end, injectors, turbo (or turbos), Nitrous, Water-meth... and a tranny....
With just a chip, intake, exhaust... your about 300hp... Your 03 has PMR's (Powdered Metal Rods) so without tearing into the bottom end you are limited to about 390-420... The Forged Rods seem to be safe to about 500-550... |

thanks for the input, what year is better? also what mods would you suggest for towing

If you not looking at really moddin the truck the 03 is the nicest year of the 7.3...
Chip, intake and exhaust, a good set of gauges. That will make a nice tow rig. Save a bit for a Valve body for the tranny and an ATS compressor housing for the turbo. |

thanks again, whats the purpose of upgrading the turbo, is the stocker just a poor set up? what about inter cooler upgrades?
|

Stocker is known to surge... which will destroy it in short order.
The ATS housing will eliminate it. |

You could add a Sperco IC to that mix, but at stockish power levels its not nessasary.
