will 6.0 run with 7.3 if both have same mods??(intake,exhaust,chip)?just bought 06 truck its an automatic,its a dog just wondering if be worth extra trouble try make it run as good as my 7.3 did?Thanks

The 6.0L should run better then a 7.3L in stock trim. If the engine is running like a dog, you should have it checked out before you start throwing mods at it. If is has a problem, chances are the mod will just make the problem worse.

the 6.0 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/vomit.gif is fast but make it work and it's a DOG can't pull nothing compared to a 7.3

I'm thinking beleive and deerezilla have 6.0's that aren't running right. I have a '97 7.3 with 80hp chip and my stock '05 6.0 will blow its doors off when you hook a trailer to it. My 7.3 might out-accelerate the 6.0 but as soon as you hit a hill it's so long to the 7.3

Stock for stock, I GUARANTEE my 6.0, or any other one that is running 100%, will hands down out pull a 7.3, and I have owned a few 7.3's. I love the 7.3 too, but no way will it outperform a 6.0, in stock form.

Owned 7.3 and 6.0. The 7.3 will out torque the 6.0 until the 6.0 hits about 2k then watch out, cause all you're gonna see of the 6.0 is taillights. The 6sp. auto tranny provides extra umph when towing as well, as the engine can stay in powerband better. 6.0 and torqueshift is a good combo. We are talking stock to stock because if you include crazy mods, then yes at this point in time the 7.3 have more max. power mods available.

maybe engine just not broke in yet,have about 1500 mile on it,mentioned to dealer about it seeming weak,they basically said if not missing or no idiot lights on no reason to look at it.Have pulled with it does pull pretty desent.thanks

 

[GrampyJim]

The 6.0, IMHO. doesn't have the "lifting power" of a 7.3..... this is that deep down low rpm torque..... But, the 7.3 doesn't have the top end power of the 6.0.

What I have seen on these forums... People shifting or driving in a manner that keeps the 6.0 from getting on to the torque curve. These are high revving diesels.... I don't care what works for a DDEC or a Big Cam... these engines like rpm.

The 6.0 works very well if we give the motor what it wants rather than trying to make the motor accept what we give...

My 6.0 would pull circles around my modded 7.3 and probably yours too! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smokin.gif

Hey! SuperF350,That is an awsome dyno pull !! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Thanks! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smokin.gif

I just bought a 6.0 F350 DRW with a torqueshift. I had a 2001 7.3L w/6 speed. I ony have 500 miles on the new rig but I can already tell it will run neck and neck with my '01 which I typically ran with an Edge EVO in the 80hp setting. Once the 6.0 get broken in, I think it wil only get better.

 

[DarkShadowDiesel]

mod for mod, yes the 6.0 will outrun the 7.3
Now, go ask this in the 7.3 part of the forum. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

the 97 is'nt a fair compairison to a 6.0. the 2003 7.3 would be more fair. now with that being said the 6.0 is a screamer compaired to the 7.3. my 6.0 was the strongest truck I've ever owned. my 7.3 just happens to be alot more fun /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smokin.gif I'm goin back down to the dungeon now!

 

[tincan]

I will put my stock 2003 6.0 against any stock 7.3 loaded or unloaded. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[Josh F250]

The 2 trucks in my sig run about the same as far as track times. 7.3 with about $12k un aftermarket vs 6.0 with about $1k.

Personally I love my 7.3L, but those 6.0's have some serious potential.

My buddy just bought a bone stock 04' 6.0 and we raced three nights ago, my 7.3 with the mods listed in my sig beat him but not by much. It's pretty safe to say any type of chip in his truck would destroy my 7.3L
