"You dont here much of this from any diesel shops cause we invented this"
Ummm NO. This is an old mod that has been around for a long long time. I have owned 3 7.3s and have done this to all 3 of them. My first being a 96 I purchased in 98. I did the mod in 99. Back then it wasn't a new spring, just a 1/8" or 1/4" SS ball bearing did the job (Same on my 97). On my 99.5 a #4 pan head screw ground down to a specified length got my fuel pressure up to 65 pounds.
As for power gains, I have no data to back it up other than seat of the pants feel but if any of the 3 I have done this to picked up as much as 5 to 10 HP I would be suprised.
As mentioned above, the best thing you can do for your injectors is keep good clean oil in your engine. Also add 1 oz. (per gallon of fuel) of 2 stroke motor oil to every other tank of fuel. Your injectors will quiet down and love you for the extra lubrication in the fuel. You can get a gallon at wally world for around $10.00.

I put the spring in 10 mths ago, did not notice a difference right away. Once I installed a Edge tuner my millage went from 12.5 to 18.5 hwy on my 2000 7.3. Don't know if the spring helped or not? But if it saves injectors? I think its $25 spent that can't hurt, if I never replace a injector again.
End of June now....no spring yet..... been 8 months now............
Unreal...
I'm still laughing about the comment on GDS' spring....

That's pretty bad when you graduate to ripping people off for $25 at a time Derek.
Maybe you should drop the crack pipe, step up and be a man.

X 2! I have been running Rotella for years and have had no issues with it. I run it for 5k between changes. I have also run with Delo 400 and noticed no difference.
X 3
I call bullsh!t on this, although I now run the 5-40 synthetic Rotella, all the years I ran 15-40 I never had an issue, only went to synthetic because of the -30 mornings here in the winter.

Well worth the 25 bucks
