That's huge for just a cam swap.

Agreed Jody…that surprised me it being a bone stock motor.

Brian Wolfe of Willis Performance Enterprises…is a former Director of Ford Racing, also had a hand in the original development of the Godzilla engine.

Also saw this…

“The 7.3 Godzilla is a wonderful engine for old trucks. The torque comes early, and the powerband is predictable, yet stout. These engines really wake up around 2,200 rpm with a mild camshaft and can get you into the 600 horsepower range with ease.”
