Brian designed his own camshaft to match the higher flowing heads, which he believes is one of the key reasons the engine is as powerful as it is (more than 1,800 hp at the crank on nitrous). The Stage 2 competition heads from Swamps Motorsports feature 5-axis CNC porting, beehive valve springs, and attach to the block by way of ARP head studs.

Underneath the TIG-welded, PSP Diesel valve covers you’ll find a worked-over-yet-factory-based cylinder head on each bank.

A recent sponsorship from CP-Carrillo also means that Brian will be trying out a new long-rod and piston combination in the future as well. Having split two blocks in a matter of weeks, Brian and his crew upgraded to a Hypermax bed plate, and they may even try to obtain one of the company’s readily-available compacted graphite iron blocks or source a billet-aluminum block over the long-term. Despite the recent success running 4-second passes, they have taken their toll on the factory 7.3L crankcase. Notable short-block upgrades include a girdle that, in conjunction with ARP main studs, ties all the main caps together, off-the-shelf Hypermax Engineering forged-steel connecting rods, and billet pistons from Diamond Racing. And even though the crankshaft has been zero balanced, it’s the original piece first installed in 1996. Though its water jackets have been filled, the factory cast-iron block is still being employed. Rather, it’s because a lot of the 7.3L’s original design remains. However, it’s not because the front-mount turbo, custom headers, and trick intake make the engine look different. Whether you’re familiar with the 7.3L Power Stroke or not, this one is unlike anything you’ve ever seen.

If what Brian tells us is true (and we have no reason to doubt him), look for this ground-breaking OBS Pro Mod to dig even deeper into the 4s in the near future. It was made with a 7.3L Power Stroke that sports the factory-based cast-iron block and heads, a big single turbo and nitrous, and steel doors with roll-up windows. The following walk-around occurred shortly after Brian turned in a best-ever, 4.92-second eighth-mile pass at 144 mph. In conjunction with his own business-Gray’s Diesel Performance-Brian is proving that plenty of untapped potential still exists in the old, HEUI-fired V-8, with many of the parts found in his Pro Mod being directly usable in any 7.3L engine. It’s been a long and winding road to get here, but now things are really starting to click.

Then the decision was made to scrap what was left of the factory frame and go full tube chassis, get the truck into the 3,500-pound range, get the chassis certified to run 7.50s, and prep everything for battle against the nastiest diesel Pro Mods in the country. A few years ago, Brian pulled out all the stops, and the ¾-ton OBS went under the knife for what was initially a Pro Street build. When beating up on local 6.4L owners and the occasional Corvette got old, Brian lowered the truck (it sat on 46-inch tires at the time) and proceeded to wear out some 383ci Mustangs in area street races. A short while later, after familiarizing himself with the 7.3L Power Stroke with his work as a diesel mechanic at the local Ford dealership, Brian decided to swap one in place and start tinkering.

Believe it or not, former professional motocross racer and avid drag racer Brian Gray picked up this once four-wheel drive ’96 F-250 for $1,800 to use as a cheap daily driver in order to afford his first home. How exactly does a 351ci Windsor-powered farm truck end up being the fastest 7.3L-powered truck in existence? It starts with an owner who thrives under pressure, embraces an uphill challenge, and possesses an unquenchable thirst for speed. 101-PSI Boost, 1,700HP, and 4-Second Eighth Miles: Inside a Wicked-Fast Pro Mod OBS Ford
