Accelerated automotive 52 W Hills Rd, Huntington Station, NY 11746 They are as fair as it gets. They can do some performance stuff but they are best known for keeping fleet vehicles and commercial accounts on the road. They have a near flawless rep. And they’ve been there for a looong time...

Gotcha, thanks for the info! That gives me something to think about. Truck is just a toy, going to make it fast & drive it a bit then move on to another. Engine will probably be for sale in year!😂

Engine is on the stand. Machine shop is telling me that the heads are set up to be used with that camp and that's what I'm curious about can I step up to the bigger cam or is there going to be a lot more involved for it to run the way it should

That's what I was thinking

I'm thinking about switching the cam to something bigger while the engine is out. I'm not doing the actual work on the engine, I'm not a mechanic and don't know more than the basics. Can you guys tell me if there are any reasons I shouldn't put one of the stage 4 cams in? If there isn't a...

I'm in deeeep already. So far the engine (parts & labor) cost more than I paid for my first 6.0 Everything on that engine is done. It's built with the intention of having that power level. 750 & up is cool. More challenging when you don't have the skill to get under the hood and tackle problems...

Man I just want to get up to between 8-900 and play with it on the weekend. I'm realistic about reliability or lack thereof and I know it will always be a work in progress but I still want it. I think I know what I need but I need the help of a talented mechanic/fabricator to realize it. I'll do...

Ok cool, appreciate the info! My truck will be set up with a 71 mm vgt and small injectors(250/100 hyb.) until we get the engine and trans bugs worked out and then after that I'm going to have someone lucky fella build me a nice compound set up with whatever injectors & oil pump setup are...

Ok, that makes sense. I don't know what psi boost I will be dealing g with down the road but I probably won't exceed 80. I think I will try to use the v band housing on the turbo when I switch to my non vgt set up. If I can find someone to build a mild compound d set up that would work well...

I don't understand engines very well to begin with so pardon my ignorance but with all the problems with CAC boots blowing off I just have a hard time believing that guys making high horsepower have the same set up. Am I wrong? Either way is it possible to eliminate some or all of the boots in...

Would that be ok to use with a big VGT? If so & if still available I'll take it!

How long have you had the compound set up? I'm asking because I'm thinking about doing it but can't find anyone with compounds that doesn't have major issues frequently. I can't do the work on my engine so I am scared to have a set up that I can't get at least a few months out of without sending...

Im a glutton for punishment...it's not like I can't afford a new 6.7, I just wanted to see this project through but boy is it frustrating

Ok so just got off the phone with FEL PRO. I was told & I quote: " oh no, you can't use our gaskets with O rings!" He said they are not designed for it & wont work.....

It is. Everything in this engine is high quality as is all the machine work. I'm worried about if 265 lbs of torqued stud is going to play nice with my o ringed heads & fel pros.
