The 7.3 Powerstroke is a two-valve behemoth which measures in at 444 cubic inches and has a maximum stock power rating of 275hp and 525lb.ft. Based on the surface areas of the oil and fuel side of the plunger, there is a multiplication effect of 7:1, which means 3,000psi of oil will create 21,000psi of fuel entering the engine. The acronym HEUI stands for Hydraulic Electronic Unit Injector, and it’s a system where engine oil is pressurized to about 3,000psi, and that oil is used to push down on a plunger which in turn forces fuel into the engine.
