Mark,
I'm considering putting a 230 HP T444E turbocharger
on my PS to give it a lot more air.  Please ask
them what they think of that.  Will it be easy to
bolt up etc.?

-them about many issues might go over better than 50
-people asking them one question.
-Don't you think ?
-Any questions you want asked i will get the
-answers, just let me know.

----Hello All,
----
----I had the chance to talk to an engineer at
----international yesterday. We talked for about 30
----min. Very nice and helpful. We are getting
--together
----some performance upgrade info together for a
----feature article. He said there are quite a few
----things that can be done to our trucks for very
----little money that will make a bigger difference
-in
----performance than some of the aftermarket
-products.
----
----A couple of interesting points we shared:
----
----the T444E set up like the ford actually makes
--232HP
----at the rear wheel.
----
----They have a PSD up at international they built
to
----425 HP although he said don't do this at home
----because our drive train can't handle it. Their
----using an allison tranny.
----
----Anyway Just thought i would tease you a bit. A
----feature article will follow outlining real easy-
----money saving-horsepower and torque making mods.
----
----Let me know if you want to know anything in
----particular, i have a conference call with the
-ford
----liason and the engineer late next week.

----Mark
