Very correct. While we are not promising things will hold together at 600HP, we are doing what it takes to get the MOST out of the stock bottom end. Requiring a customer to install rods takes a product into a whole new realm, and cuts the market down substantially. We are striving to keep cylinder pressure spikes to a minimum and lessen the stress on the factory rods.
So far I am loving the truck. Transmission is holding up great with a few tuning modifications, and I don't expect it is going to give up any time soon.
We do not plan on making this kit DPF capable at this time. We may change those plans in the future, but for now we are supporting the race applications only. There is a reason the factory turbos are designed the way they are (for emissions). To be able to improve on what the factory has done and retain perfect functionality of the emissions system would take a LOT of R&D to say the least. The demand is there, but I don't know that anyone will successfully be able to provide support for it.
Thanks for the support guys, we are looking forward to providing some revolutionary parts for this 6.7L Powerstroke. It's time to show all those 6.4L guys that we can have some power too! - I love my 6.4, but this 6.7L is an animal!
