Do the Tymar intake kits have a new box or do you use the stock one or does it just sit out in the open? Thanks, this will improve my tow!:thanks

The Tymar sits on top of the fender well and you remove the stock housing entirely. The filter has a 2 footed clamp ring that goes around it to support it enough to get air all the way around. I think there is a picture of it in my sig line. Not an upclose detail but sufficient to give you an idea.

so what is a safe eg temp for hauling a load? below 1100 D?
How long / what eg temp is safe to shut the truck off at?
When I get the money I will install a 4" exhaust all the way and get the Tymar intake, but for now I want a chip. I'm lookin' at the DP chip for my next upgrade.

Oh, and I'm takin' care of da beav, hehehe...

Biggest down pipe for a OBS is a 3"... Unless you want to pull the motor and do some fire wall mods.. A 3" is tight as hell. Pre turbo, 1250 is what I run as a max EGT for any time, I will touch 1400 for a few seconds passing or racing.

With a OBS dont expect more then 70-100 hp with any chip... You will need to upgrade injectors to get more then that

I have a 03 F250 7.3 stock motor, I have found custom burned chips with up to 145 hp increase. Is this horsepower not possible unless I upgrade my injectors?

Yes and no... The OBS (old body style) trucks will see only a 70-80 hp increese with any chip-tuner. They are limited by the smaller injectors, smaller turbo, and lack of an intercooler. They are upgradable but thats what the first poster was talking about

Now on to yours, You have a 03, best HPOP (high pressure oil pump), good. But you will still see no more then 350-360 rwhp without drugs with the stock injectors and or stock HPOP. Most chips will top off at about 120-130 hp with all the supporting mods.

For referance, I have put down 350-365 hp with the mods in my sig...with a strong batch of water-meth...

Thanks for the great info!!

Correct me if I am wrong, but to run bigger fuel injectors aren't they around $1,000 to $1,500.

How much does a good HPOP run?

With you putting down 350 to 365 HP, what kind of torque are you putting down??

Thanks again for this info!!

Injectors for a PSD are in the $1200-$2200 range, depending on type, used parts or all new.

You can find a dual HPOP for about $1300+ or -. Bob at Dieselsite has a new single pump comming out soon, should be able to run any aftermarket injectors short of true 530's.

My TQ has been between 800-860, differant dyno's...
