New Fuel-Only

7.3L Record

Last year, Nicholas Lima joined a short list of

7.3L Power Stroke-powered trucks to break

into the 10s in the quarter-mile. Now, Lima and

his 5,900-pound OBS Ford own the fuel-only

horsepower record for a 7.3L. Strapped to the

chassis dyno at Bean Machine over the week-

end, the old-school Ford laid down an incredible

920 rwhp. Thanks to a Morris Motorsports-built

engine, 455/400 hybrid injectors from Unlimited

Diesel Performance, a Forced Inductions S

Gangster turbo, and SDK Performance tuning,

Lima was able to pull off the feat. Mid-to-low

10s could de nitely be in this truck’s future.
