Great video Andre!!!

I build this engine all day long at the Windsor engine plant. Windsor, Ontario

Can't wait to see those tuned numbers on the 7.3

Where the 7.3 is going to crush it is in medium duty trucks that usually required a Diesel engine. Companies are sick of paying extra for the Diesel engine and all the problems that come from modern emissions systems. If they can buy a truck to do the same job for less money and less money to keep it running, then that’s what they’ll do!

Anyone on here look past the peak numbers and see the flat tq curve on the graph. This 7.3 will be a great towing motor. It's not all about peak numbers .

Dyno starts at 3:50

73L VS 62L Even though this TFL review centers around the overall number. We are still impressed with the 7.3L and its more about the differences between each engine to us here at 5 Star Tuning. We wanted to show for those who have a 6.2L and or those wanting a 7.3L what could they expect approx. hp/tq to wheel between the engines.(stock form) We can run in 7th gear (the 7.3) and it will produce a higher number but will hit the factor speed limiter half way in WOT run. We might do that onces we get into development in a a couple of weeks . We also have our 2nd 7.3L coming in today (about time lol) it has a 3.55 gears, we will get some more runs with it to compare

Great video Andre, thank you and to the guys at 5 Star. I was hoping for slightly better numbers to be honest but still excellent. Looking forward to towing tests, mpg loops and overall driving impressions.

The people in the comments talking bad about the 7.3 numbers....LMAO. If you want horsepower you have to mod pretty much any engine ever. If you wanted to tune it and custom fab performance mods then do it! It comes from factory as a tow pig. Ya'll are nuts, what are you expecting out of a factory tow pig? You want horsepower don't look at trucks that are meant to work and tow and hold up, go buy a ford lightning or shelby f150/raptor etc. These are not high horse power engines, they are specifically designed for durability and towability.

People complain about everything damn! TFL bringing us this footage *first!* Chill and enjoy!

Am I the only one who's curious about the "factory limiting the maximum torque"? I cant wait to see what potential this thing has.

Y'all need to some how get your hands on a 2020 F350 6.2L because it comes with the 10 speed auto. Then compare it to the 6.2L with the 6 speed and see if anything is gained or lost between that transmissions

The curve of the 7.3 is impressive. It went straight up at low rpm and held it. Definitely made for pulling at low rpm. You'll see this engine in a lot of moving vans and small buses. Traditional proven pushrod durability and they'll only perfect it with time.

Love how the power just shoots up at low rpm, no replacement for displacement.

"Godzilla" was made to replace the V10. Comparing it to THAT would be a more realistic test.

So on a 2020 youre paying for 360 horsepower and about 400lb-ft to the wheels, while also getting it at a lot lower rpms, I’d say that’s well worth the 2 grand for the 7.3 motor, and it’s simpler and has a newer and most likely stronger transmission.

6.2 gas 335.2 hp 369lb-ft 7.3 gas 358.3 hp 407.3 lb-ft

I’ve been waiting on the Godzilla videos from you guys!

Awesome i didn't know that Chum Lee works at 5 star tuning

I have had a 5 star tune on my eco boost for 95k miles. Amazing company. Cant wait for the tune on new 7.3.

Wow look at how early that torque peaks! If I was shown this graph and not told the engine I would’ve sworn it was turbocharged.

What do you think of these power numbers? Here what we think HERE: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qJaSq9RltrKpYIk.html

Love the new Godzilla motor...thanks Andre

No one: Absolutely no one: Josh Newman: work trocks, tow trocks

I love these dyno videos.Good job TFL

The torque curve in that 7.3 is almost like a diesel impressive

I think ford is playing it safe and under powering the 7.3 so there are no issues with them on its first year. I think that engine is strong enough to hold almost 500hp

great video, clear explanations and 'real world' numbers...

Great video and really like those numbers for that 7.3L!

Would have liked to see both trucks on the dyno with one of their tunes.

I'd rather have seen you compare this to the all new GM HD 6.6L gas engine. It has 401hp and 464torque vs the Ford 7.3L of 430hp and 475torque.

Great vid andre. Been watching you guys for years, love this channel. I'd really like if you put the camera/mic farther away from the exhaust when nabbing some sweet exhaust notes. You guys like to get close, and many times it baffles the mic. Please test out putting the camera/mic farther away. Thanks, looking forward to future vids!!

Can’t wait to upgrade from my 2016 6.2 F350 to the 7.3!

Motor needs time to break in too. That 7.3 looks brand spankin new. Will probably put down another 5 hp after 5k miles.

I love these videos keep up the good work guys

The most interesting thing about this video is that is shows the dyno isn't overestimating nearly as much as it looked in the diesel video. That makes those diesel numbers look crazy. Also, I don't know what everyone was expecting from the 7.3. It was touted by ford as a fuel efficient towing and work engine with low end grunt the 6.2 didn't have. The mpg is still tbd, but so far it looks like it is exactly as described in the power department with plenty of room to continue upping the competition diesel truck wars style.

This thing makes killer torque at under 2000 rpm. This things made to pull. I’m sure it’s excellent. Some of you are obviously to caught up in having the fastest truck on the planet. Lol.

Next video: “we are straight piping it”😂 I want to hear her straight piped

Great video that tremor is a good looking truck especially the grey black combo going on.

Great job guys

That thing sounds gooood!

Can't wait to see this new 7.3L on the Ike Gauntlet!!

Great job. Looking forward to some mpg testing.

Another great video i was very excited for this one cant wait to see what the aftermarket world offers for Godzilla engine really want to hear it with headers and duel exhaust

The 7.3 hp is a little low. But probably done on purpose from ford so next year it will make hp! and so on and so on and so on!!!

Go back and listen to the reveal at the auto show they did. Lead guy was talking about all the stuff they borrowed from the power stroke and the ecoboost. This engine is gonna respond really good to boost and I'm certain they built it to take turbos when diesel emissions get to strict. Cant wait to see what Hennessy does with this.

I have a 6.2 and it has been a great truck. Over 160k on it now and nothing has broken, it has never let me down and it handles everything I have thrown at it including 10,000 pounds of towing. Would recommend getting one used with low mileage.

One thing that wasn't corrected for in ratio is the 35" tires of the tremor vs the 33.5" tires on the full stocker. That does affect final drive ratio, and the heavier tires will increase parasitic loss. It likely wasn't the best choice to use the tremor as a test unit. I'm sure one of the guys at 5Star bought it for "the company" as more of a personal rig. It won't affect the shape of the curve, just maximum output doesn't compare well. It's good to finally have an idea about this engine though. Also: torque curve is significantly more important than maximum output numbers. Compare the average torque between these engines to get a better idea of the driving dynamics. That 7.3 will feel like the ecoboosts just that it is a massive pump. That's a chunky curve. Also Also: The 2.7L just got even more impressive as it's max torque numbers on the same dyno measure basically identical to the 6.2L max numbers (372 for the 2.7L). That would mean it's likely underrated by about 30 ft/lbs.

That low end torque on the 7.3 is insane for a gas engine.

I dont care about HP - Torque curve and Mileage need more attention.

That 7.3 killed the 6.2!!!!! Look at that curve! With the %20 drive loss that’s around 450hp to the crank!

Once again Andre, Great Job! Can we all ask you to do the same testing on the Chevy HD Gas 6.0-6.6 engines and how they compare with the Ford V8’s please? Plus possibly throw in a Ram HD 6.4 HEMI? With the universally known differences between Dyno’s, I can understand how difficult that might be to accomplish all on the same Dyno, say like with the great guys at 5 Star. But beggars can’t be choosers! All I can say is I don’t believe anyone has ever done such comparisons that comprehensively before? That would be some bragging rights! Good Luck, Have Fun, Stay Sage an Healthy, Happy New Years!

Ford should offer both of these engines in the F-150. :D

Wouldn't be better to compare the 7.3 to the 6.8 V10 since that's what it is replacing?

You keep saying 20% drivetrain loss but I can’t believe there’s more than 15% Even 15% put the 6.2 at 395hp. That 7.3 is gonna be a beast with a tune to back off that torque management. That torque, the important number, is awesome. There’s a lot of programming in this truck for gas mileage reasons. That’s why the graph was moving around so much. Take it for a couple hundred mile highway loop so we can see that.

Man, that torque difference is great! I'd love to see that towing test.

I get so upset when they fire these things up and rev the piss out of them right away. It's so bad for them. But hey all of a sudden Andre is a dyno professional giving us his power predictions and telling the guys in the tuning shop what to do. (I think he's hanging around Roman too much and it's rubbing off) Nathan and the Canadian dude are the best and most professional journalists on the channel if you ask me.

They didnt even talk about the real trick the 7.3 does and that is that it stays at stoichiometric during load that will save a ton of gas

I aint a ford guy but iam liking the 7.3 percent work truck with that low end stump pulling power

I guess those are good starting numbers can’t wait for the mods

Great video as usual! I was expecting a lot more torque from the extra displacement of the 7.3 than just 40 ft pounds? Can you even feel 40ft lbs of extra torque? I thing this engine was designed for U Haul (cheaper to make, simple to maintain than a V-10) to be reliable versus a significant upgrade in HP and torque for the consumer market. Maybe Ford is sandbagging the performance so it doesn't infringe on the highly profitable diesel engine they offer?

Missed the whole point for the 7.3. It was designed for fuel economy by intensive modeling (computer) of load cycle/gear ratio/speed optimized to operate at lower rpm. Higher power was incidental

Great to see info on the 7.3. For an extra liter (7.3 vs. 6.2), I anticipated greater gains in torque and horsepower. Ford may be self-limiting those numbers. But, even if they aren't, it could be that by not striving for greater gains there, they may instead strive for an improvement in fuel efficiency. An analogy is the old Cadillac engines. They were no match for other big blocks on power, but they achieved greater gas mileage, even with greater displacement (472& 500 cu. in.) and while moving a heavier car.

If you drive the new 7.3, you can definitely feel the torque management pulling timing and throttle position as you go thru the gears. Guarantee, with a tune, it will pick up substantial power and fuel economy.

You could have put the same wheels and tires on each by changing one to the other.

Pushrod power! That big LS did great! 🤣

Not a ford guy but really like these dyno comparisons.

I’m a fan of of the 6.2 it does good for a gas engine. Can’t wait to try the Godzilla.

I want to know the 7.3 L MPG god dammit that's all I'm waiting on to pull the trigger

8:21 for those who are lazy or in a rush

The 7.3l didnt have the numbers I thought but then again they were limited by speed and for the extra $2000 I say it's still worth it. Now with that being said I think I should change my mind from the 7.3 to the 6.7l. That new 2020 diesel is an underrated monster!

Wonderful content dudes. If you ever get a chance I'd sure love to see a gauntlet and mpg run with the 2019 Ram 2500 with the Hemi and 8 speed

Well, that was interesting. I’d rather have a torquey, big V8 that is dead simple and reliable. Given that it’s a new Ford engine, reliability IS up in the air, though. I want a diesel, but I don’t want the DEF & other emissions equipment. And NO, I’m not going to entertain “Just delete it!” “Just do a delete and you’ll be fine” comments. I just gave up a 2004 Mercedes 5cyl diesel that was, once sorted, spectacular. I would love a new Cummins, Duramax, or Powerstoke, but I’ve had my share of limp to the repair shop to get the emissions equipment fixed experiences.

You guys were really struggling to hit the 10 minute mark on this one.

TFL ROCKS

I think they are down playing the intake and exhaust setup. 20% is like 308hp. I'm excited to see this 7.3 do work. Good ol' pushrod motor

I still love my 6.2 it pulls everything I throw at it! It also helps that i have 5 star tunes in my truck too!

You guys are making me want to trade my 2019 raptor for a 2020 F250 with tremor package and the 7.3

Can not wait to see it when you add that Super Charger to the 7.3L!

Power Wagon vs Tremor on dyno... and GO!

This thing isn't "Godzilla" just yet....wait till the cam/heads & general "tail stroking" I can see it now: "bolt on a set of these Taraunasaurus Heads for King Kong Slinging Power!"

Gas mileage will be interesting

I’d like to see that 7.3 matched up against the other two company’s large v8 offerings. I’m a Chevy guy, but that 7.3 ford looks like it has some awesome potential.

Andre please always include how much torque and horsepower trucks have at 15 hundred to 2 thousand RPMs. This is where a work truck lives. 1 graph I looked at showed the 7.3 gas engine 400 pound pound feet of torque. At 15 hundred RPMs. Incredible.

Why do you play music during the dyno run 🤬🤬

Review 2019 6.4hemi ram please. With the new 8speed

That 7.3 is going to love a tune

The numbers don’t seem to make sense. The new 2020 is rated at +50hp at the crank compared to the smaller engine yet it only picked up about +30hp at the wheels compared to the old. The overall number isn’t important but the difference between the two is. It should be right around 50 difference. Something doesn’t add up.

Music should be off during power runs me thinks.

That big beast will make massive power with an exhaust intake and tune. Can't wait to see what starts to happen once people start throwing twin turbo kits on them

Godzilla powered Raptor is going to be nuts.

Good job Andre

I like to see a tuned supercharger 7.3 numbers!

Cool video, I feel like tfl gives Ford more of the special treatment than the do Chevy or Ram. Would’ve been cool to see this same test with the old Vortec 6.0 and the new 6.6 gas.

Awesome! I would love to see numbers for the new 6.6 gas Chevy compared to fords 7.3 gas.

Nice video! I bet with an exhaust and CAI and a good tune, that 7.3 gas will pickup 50 horse pretty easily. I feel like there will be a lot that can be done with that 7.3 gas engine.

With the weight savings of the f150 frame and the very similar numbers of the 5.0 V8, it really comes down to how much payload do you really need?

Do this with the ram Cummins High output, standard Cummins and 6.4hemi

Real reporting and great info,dont bother putting in for a job with CNN,MSNBC,ABC,NBC,CBS PBS as they don't want real reporting.

Can't wait to see this thing take on the Ike Gauntlet. That thing with the 10 speed in a real world test should be interesting.
