Minotaur Training

Take your tuning skills to the next level with our optional, in-person classes—designed specifically for those working with the 7.3L Power Stroke via the Hydra Chip. These advanced sessions are led by experienced professionals in a small group setting, with time for Q&A and one-on-one support. Including an advanced class led by Bill Cohron, co-owner of Power Hungry Performance.  Seats are limited, and this training is not included in your general admission—be sure to select the add-on when purchasing your ticket to reserve your spot.

Summit 7.3 Conference

What’s included with your ticket? A limited-edition event shirt and swag pack (while supplies last)! Plus access to giveaways and merch from vendors at their booths. Lunch is on us for all attendees. Enjoy casual networking at Wednesday night’s tailgate party, live entertainment Thursday night, and pick your favorite niche topics during Friday’s breakout sessions. Friday night’s yours to enjoy with new friends. In 2024, Full Force Diesel Performance called for a future truck show on Saturday to help bring in more enthusiasts. In 2025, we made it happen—and doubled our attendance. Summit 7.3 values listening to the community and building something bigger each year.

Public Truck Show

 Join us for food trucks, music and a variety of vendors. This family-friendly event is open to the public with free admission! Bringing a truck that’s built to be seen? A limited number of premium front-row display spaces are available for standout builds—and they’re reserved exclusively through pre-registration for an added fee. On-site registration will be available, but only if space remains after pre-registrants are placed, so we strongly encourage early booking to secure your spot. During conference hours, daytime security will be on-site, and an on-site deputy will be present during the truck show for added peace of mind. 

In the Media

Green Handle Media covered Summit 7.3 across two back-to-back years, first recognizing the event as a milestone celebration of the 7.3L Power Stroke’s 30th anniversary, and then spotlighting its continued growth in 2025. Summit 7.3 is gaining traction among influential voices in the Power Stroke world, including YouTube creators like the Powerstroke Boiz, giving vendors a valuable opportunity to engage directly with content-driven enthusiasts and get their brand in front of an audience that trusts them. Whether you’re a dealership, manufacturer, or shop owner—this is your invitation to be part of something that’s driving the diesel industry forward. If you’re ready to stand where the diesel community is paying attention—reserve your spot.

Speakers are encouraged to apply!

We invite respected experts, innovators, and professionals to share meaningful insights with an audience that values depth and real-world experience. Summit 7.3 focuses on diesel platforms, business development, and industry trends. Sessions are tailored for shop owners, brand builders, and industry entrepreneurs. While brand visibility is welcome, the stage is reserved for education, not sales pitches. We can provide A/V support, a green room, and shuttle transportion from the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport, as needed. For handout approvals and submission deadlines, get in touch—we’ll make sure you’re set up for success. Like KC Turbos‘ Charlie Fish, who captivated the stage — as a sponsor and speaker — two years in a row! If you have a topic that serves the broader diesel community—whether it’s technical, strategic, or operational—we welcome you to apply!
