Don't even think about adding power without these.

If you own a 6.0L, you know the words "head studs" are sacred. The factory torque-to-yield bolts are the number 1 cause of blown head gaskets.

Before you tune it, before you upgrade the turbo, you MUST install head studs. We exclusively use industry-leading head studs in our 6.0L builds to provide the clamping force needed to keep the heads locked down, no matter how much boost you throw at it. It’s not just an upgrade; it’s a necessity.

How much does an intercooler actually matter on a classic Old Body Style (OBS) 7.3 Power Stroke?

We skipped the sales pitch and let the dyno settle this long-standing debate. We strapped our 7.3 Workhorse setup to the dyno at Choate Engineering Performance to do a true, back-to-back A-to-B test.

The results? By changing absolutely nothing else except routing the intake through an intercooler, we gained:
📈 +30 Horsepower
📈 +75 lb-ft of Torque

Bringing this tow rig setup to a solid 425 hp and 950 lb-ft of torque!

Choate Engineering Performance, we don’t leave anything to chance. Standard freeze plugs are a ticking time bomb in the diesel world.

Our billet freeze plugs provide a superior seal and structural integrity that OEM parts just can’t match. These are precision-machined to ensure a perfect fit and zero leaks, even in high-horsepower builds. It’s the small details that make a long block last a lifetime.

🛑 Don't skimp out on your next build and reuse your old harmonic balancer. It's a wear item that's crucial for the longevity of your crankshaft.

Looking for a build with new harmonic balancers included? Check us out here: https://choateperformance.com/

When looking for a new engine always ask about balancing. Many places aren't truly balancing engines, but instead weight matching. We balance down to 2 grams for reciprocating mass, and .7 Oz in rotational mass, ensuring you have a truly balanced engine.
