what will it take me to out run or run with a 6.0 with an exhaust and an sct programmer.

Injectors, turbo, and a transmission.... at the bare minimum.


Sorry, but 6.0L's have us beat by a long shot with just an SCT. Takes a lot of money for ours to keep up.




But then again, we spend less money in coolant.... LOL

 

stock for stock I can blow 7.3 doors off all day...and I never had anything wrong with my truck...bout to get an SCT

 

:whs:

 

thanks for the input. is the ts 6 pos the best way to go? i have heard alot about dp tuners and total diesel chips?are they better then ts

 

Might gain a few tenths in the 1/4, but nothing that will really get you any closer to a 6.0L.

 

There is a lot of chips out there. Look into DP, diesel innovations, swamps, PHP, gearhead, there is a ton. Just look at the sponsor page and search through them. There are better then TS out there

 

swamp it and hold no:redspotdance:

 

A 6.0 will definately get to the mall faster. Hook it up to a gooseneck with a backhoe on it and it will get to the repair shop pretty fast too.

 

:hehe::hehe: Yea, uh huh..... I've never had any issues in 100k pulling 25k combine up 8% graded mountains??? I guess I'm one of the lucky ones right... And I guarantee my stock 6.0 will walk on a stock 7.3 towin too...

 

does your buddy with the sct have studs cuz you might just be able to run him around town a bit at the lights, get those heads heated a lil. and then hit the on ramp and about the time he starts blowing blue/ white smoke you'll probly beat him LOL

 

about the time he starts blowing blue/ white smoke you'll probly beat him LOL

LOL

 

The 6.0 with an sct is liable to be anywhere from 380-420 rwhp. A stock injectored 7.3 is going ot struggle to get much past 320, and some wont get there. Youll be looking at a mild set of injectors, a turbo upgrade, and potential fuel system upgrades. Then it is up to you if you want to keep the pmr rods and take a small chance (or big chance depending on tuning) or swap out for forged.

If you go with forged rods, a set of 230-250cc hybrids, a turbo upgrade, fuel system, head studs, and transmission will get you in the 450-500 range.

 

i love how every one that has a 6.0 with a programmar thinks its fast:doh:

 

what do you drive thats so bad @SS

 

It is lol, compared to a 7.3 with just a programmer/chip.

Slow compared to a dmax with ppe or efi live, and iffy compared to a 03+ cummins with a Smarty.

 

thanks for everyones input. it really helps me to get to know where i stand and what i need to do

 

My friend has an 02 7.3 with a five inch pipe, edge evo, and scorpion stinger, with them turned up all the way it gave my 05 with just Edge juice 85 horse, S&B intake and straight pipe a run for my money. but i still run so much more boost i lost him.

 

my brother has a 6.0 w/ sct custom tuned by idp..... and he blew the doors off an 04 cummins with smarty and edge stacked, and tranny work, and he beat a dmax with a ppe and banks six gun stacked. so sct with 6.0 is bad a$$

 

Really???

 

ya a 6.0 can be a bad mofo...so can a 7.3 but the 6.0 will have the power advantage.

 

yes, for racing, a 6.0 with sct-custom tunes, a egr delete, aftermarket head studs, intake and exhaust is definitly a bad mo-fo. But i will still take my good ol mule of a 7.3. 6.0 just doesnt seem to be the best work vehicle IMO.

 

iv run a 6.0 up the highway from 70 mph an hung with him on 100 on my dp an his truck would role cole dkw wat he had in it but i like 6.0s if its a ford powerstroke i love it! an my 99 1/2 is a little freak anyways lol.

 

going to need a turbo some new sticks and a fuel system upgade all this=COIN but in the end you will have a mean 7.3

 

yeah i know lol well i have dyno sheet posted stock fuel system turbo other than waste gaate i got rid of an some other things an laid down 358hp 770tq on my 100 horse tune it wouldnt fuel the 140 lol but im happy.

Those numbers seem a little high for just a chip.

 

thats wat iv been told but the dyno sheet is posted idnt knw wat to say thats what i com up wit lol like i said my truck is a freak lol.

 

if i do new turbo, injectors, ect. can the stock trans hold the power if i get a new TC. also i was looking on ebay and found a product called bigg boost does anyone have or had one or heard of them

 

your trans proly not hold up to long

 

You may think its the average....but your lucky

 

Your post was about how reliable your 6.0 is, and how that was the standard for the vt365. A loosing argument when compared to the 7.3, sorry...

Now when compared to hp gained for dollars spent...yeah the 6.0 is superior, and the 6.4 to it. No revalation there.

 

i really wouldnt piss hard for a 6leaker

 

Well then you can stay with the back of the pack then can't ya!

 

yeah you 6leaker guys need people to work a mop and bucket

 

I always need someone to clean around the house... Is that what you do for a living??
