Seeking Advice on Power Gains for 2011 6.7 Powerstroke

I’ve been doing some research on the horsepower and potential upgrades for my 2011 6.7-liter Power Stroke engine, and I’m hoping to gather some insights from those who have experience with this setup.

Stock Specifications

From what I understand, the stock horsepower for the 2011 6.7 Power stroke is around 400 hp and 800 lb-ft of torque. However, I feel like there’s more potential in these engines, and I’d love to hear about any modifications that have worked well for others.

Performance Mods & Tuning Options

I’m particularly interested in options such as:

  • ECU Tuning: What are the best tuners available, and what type of power gains can I realistically expect?
  • Cold Air Intakes: Is there a specific brand that stands out for performance increases?
  • Exhaust Upgrades: Do you guys think upgrading the exhaust system yields noticeable improvements in power and sound?
  • Other Mods: Any other tweaks or modifications that have made a significant difference?

Real-World Experiences

I’d love to hear your personal experiences with modifications and how they affected your truck’s performance. Did you find any specific products that outperformed others? Were there any surprising results when tuning?

Final Thoughts

Thanks in advance for your help! I’m excited to learn more about how to get the most out of my truck. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences! :red_car::dash:

Hey! Boosting your 6.7 Powerstroke is a great idea. I recommend starting with an aftermarket tune. A good tuner can unlock a lot more horsepower and torque. Brands like H&S or SCT are quite popular!

Absolutely agree! A quality tuner can make a huge difference. Also, consider adding a 4-inch turbo-back exhaust system. It helps with overall airflow, which is crucial for increased power!

For the best horsepower gains, don’t forget about upgrading your turbo! Installing a larger turbo can be a game-changer, especially if you’re pushing higher boost levels.

5

Totally! But remember, with a bigger turbo, you may need to upgrade your fuel system to keep up with the demand. More power often means more fuel!

6

I think you’ll see the biggest gains with a combination of modifications. Tuning, exhaust, and turbo upgrades all work together. It’s about finding the right balance!

7

Exactly! And don’t forget about performance intercoolers. They can significantly reduce intake temperatures, which helps your engine perform better.

8

What’s your budget like? That can really help narrow down the best modifications for your situation. Sometimes, it’s better to invest in a few high-quality parts than to do everything cheap!

9

I second that! Quality always wins in the long run. I personally went with a combo of a tuner and a high-flow air filter, which showed me decent gains.

10

Any specific brands you guys recommend for exhaust kits? I’ve found a few online, but it’s hard to know what’s really worth it.

11

For exhaust, I hear MBRP and Flo-Pro get great reviews. Just make sure it’s suitable for the 6.7 Powerstroke to maximize performance!

12

Make sure to consider DPF deletes if you’re going for higher horsepower. Just be aware of the legal implications in your area.

True, but let’s be real, if you’re chasing power, it comes with the territory! Just know what you’re signing up for.

14

Haha, right? It’s like having a kid! You’ve gotta nurture that beast to keep it happy.

15

Yes! It’s definitely a journey. Enjoy the process of tuning and upgrading; it’s all about personalizing your ride.

16

It’s important to keep your engine healthy while upgrading. Don’t skip on regular maintenance! More power means you need to pay more attention to your engine.

17

If you’re looking to boost the HP on your 2011 6.7 Powerstroke, start by checking your fuel delivery system. A clogged fuel filter can significantly reduce power. Also, consider upgrading your tuner.

Thanks for the tip! I actually recently replaced my fuel filter, but I will double-check my fuel pump next.

19

Another common issue is EGR cooler failure. If that’s clogged, it can affect your performance too. It might be worth checking or even delete the EGR if you’re comfortable with it.

Never thought about it that way! I’ll add that to my list of possible upgrades.
