Possible to go from 345hp to 500hp with chip,exhaust, intake?

yeah those numbers are usually for diesels..  chips and updated breathing work wonders on a turbo diesel

if the dudes F250 as the 7.3TD, there isnt much else other than another 7.3TD that will be able to whoop up on him without a shitload of mods...im a chevy guy, but i will admit ford 7.3TD's> ANY other turbo diesel in a pickup...period.

Trust me..your statement above is incorrect.  Go to a DHRA race and you'll see the truth.  I can give you a list of at leat 20 CTD's in which are below 11's in the quarter and one guy in particular that drives a ford with a CTD.  Teh 7.3 is an inferior diesel when it comes to engine mods.  Why?  Because of fuel delivery.  Yes, I raced for 5 years and ate up lots of 7.3s and know this from experience.  Sorry man..

Here's a video for your enjoyment.  Both trucks have CTD's....Yes the blue ford (his name is Madddog) cleaned out his 7.3 and dumped it for a ctd.

The 7.3 is a reliable motor, buts its not the best for making power

The 6.0 craps on the 7.3 powerwise

Id be happy with the 6.4 and the 310 Spartan tune lol
