Diesel Tuner's Blog

We've all heard from forums and numerous outlets that deleting the DPF and SCR on your Powerstroke is the way to go these days. What we have never seen backing these claims is data and tests. It's always hearsay that seem to find it's way to fueling the debate on whether to delete or keep your emissions system in-tact.  As you probably know, we like to put these tales to the test to try to figure out for ourselves what the truth is behind what you should really do with your factory emissions system. 

The 6.7L Ford in its factory trim represents a significant improvement in technology over the previous generations of the Powerstroke.  Coupled with the 6R140 transmission, this power train a lot of offer in reliability, drive-ability and performance.  Over the past year, we at CPS have worked with our customers and in-house on our own test trucks to develop and test tuning for this platform.  After hundreds of revisions, we're happy to announce we have a product that significantly outperforms the factory 6.7L/6R140 calibration in power and drive-ability, while maintaining factory operation and service intervals of the emissions control system.

Ever wonder what you need to push your stock truck to its limit?  We know the answer, and we created this article for you.  For 600-640 RWHP you will need to keep in mind all the supporting modifications you need to maintain reliability.
