The Walbro pump pulls fuel from a six-gallon, stainless-steel fuel cell that Steven fabricated himself. Steven built his own electric fuel-supply system around the Walbro unit, which incorporates a pre-filter, fuel filter and a Fuelab regulator, set at 67psi. Another readily available yet proven component that made its way onto the truck is the Walbro GS元92 lift pump. Absorbing nitrous blasts and seeing 70 to 75psi of boost on each pass, the non-waste-gated turbo has been extremely durable. The corresponding intercooler pipes, intake plenums and up-pipes also came from Irate, while the plastic intercooler was sourced from a 6.0L Power Stroke. The proven BorgWarner S467.7 FMW turbo feeds the engine and mounts in the lifter valley, thanks to a T4 turbo mount from Irate Diesel Performance. Dyno Proven also handles the PCM tuning, and Steven navigates tunes via an F8 chip from DP-Tuner. high-pressure oil pump from Dyno Proven maintains the oil volume they require.

For fuel, a set of 300/200 hybrid injectors from Full Force Diesel sit above each cylinder, while a Honey Badger Sr. Its only hard-part upgrades consist of beehive valve springs from Dyno Proven, Smith Brothers Chromoly pushrods and ARP head studs, which were threaded in one at a time. There’s no school like old school.” -Steven Davis A 367,000-mile forged-rod, stock-bottom end 7.3L Power Stroke is the foundation of Steven Davis’ lightning-quick F-350. “The 7.3L ain’t no powerhouse, but it’s hard to beat.

The best part? The original 7.3L Power Stroke still sits between the frame rails.


Smart parts hunting, the ability to fabricate and a well-rounded set of wrenching skills have all contributed to his ’95 Ford F-350 churning out six-second, eighth-mile passes. And savvy gearheads have always had ways of building their own components rather than paying someone else to do it. Budget-minded drag racers have always had a knack for getting the most out of readily available engines with reasonable performance potential.
