[QUOTE]Originally posted by BlueOvalRacing: [QB] 6.0 engines don't like a lot of boost. We have trucks coming in with blown head gaskets from overboost concerns (60+ psi). Some guys get away with it, most don't. 7.3 engines will handle just about anything that you throw at them - boost, propane, nitrous, etc. within reason. The weak link will be the 4R100 tranny with a 7.3, but only if you drive it like a moron - keep the trans fluid cool and they don't have major issues. There are options out there for cheaper fuel and with the cheaper fuel comes better mileage, but I'm not talking about biodiesel. Don't get caught running anything but #2 diesel (some people have been stopped at roadside fuel test checks), word has it that the fines are steep. Edge makes a good product for any PSD, and lets you monitor what's going on also. A chip doesn't make it as easy to watch exhaust temps and boost without adding a gauge pod. *edit* we have guys at work that get over 20mpg with modded 7.3's Just my $.02 [/QB][/QUOTE]
