Ford’s 7.3 Powerstroke produced great power back in the 90’s and early 2000’s when it was produced. In today’s day however, they are a bit underwhelming compared to the 1,000+ torque being produced by the newer modern diesels like the 6.7 Powerstroke. The hands-down best performance modification for a 7.3 Powerstroke is tuning. Tuning can…
For over a decade now, the Ford 6.7 PowerStroke and Dodge’s 6.7 Cummins have been the top of the line for turbo-diesel power plants.

The Ford 6.4 PowerStroke delivers 350 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque from the factory. While those are great numbers – especially for its era – the 6.4L diesel still pales in comparison to modern diesels. Take the 500 horsepower and 1,200 lb-ft from the 6.7 PowerStroke, for example. However, the 6.4 PowerStroke is among…
