Message: [QUOTE="TARM, post: 1032354, member: 578"] Yep that has a different look than on the 37s. I have 20s with 40s ready to go on sitting in the shop. I prefer the 20s but as I at most will be doing very light towing the 40s with 4.56 is not going to be an issue compared to what guys with real trucks do. My feelings are the same as you. I really did not like the 2 long skinny bolts holding 30lb of HPOP 2' long. I know plenty of guys have run them for years without issue but tons had to deal with inserts to fix the stripped alum threading. My X goes on national forest roads and old loggin roads etc for SAR work and the bouncing etc so I have the same issues of concern that a street rig would not. I get shaeffers at one of the best prices so it costs about what the lower group III syns run and it works well for me. If it cost what say people pay for Mobil 1 diesel in the stores that might make me re-think it. I run donaldson and luberfiner only for my filters other than the insert for the Dhal. I have the same issue when it comes to stock HPOP as all I have is the SP1 but unlike you mine still runs great according to AE IPR ICP numbers. But it sort of like a stock bottom end making 600 HP and going full throttle runs. Everytime you do it you wonder is it going to hold. I can control how hard I push my foot down or the tune I am in but the HPOP I do not like the iffy feeling I get now looking at how many failed. You look at the ones using the haldex or the dual stockers and basically they run for the duty life of a basic single stocker HPOP and tend to go out slowly not implode. Thus I figure BTS or Gen 3 is where I am at. BTS would be great as I need to add nothing. Gen 3 I will need to do the dual remote IPR /oil return to pan and feed to the res but thats doable as long as I get a good price. I have not had to block off the stock IPR as the Stealths were already done. Is it just plugging the IPR port with a bolt? I do not recall how the Stealth was. As the Gen 3 sends all the return oil thru the stock HPOP IPR location I have to block that and then have the dual remotes that get attached directly between the hpop rail of each head? Also of course have to find someone willing to make me a dual IPR manifold or sell me one they already have. I am hoping for some help in that area. I think the only thing on my wish list that is not in the Gen 3 would be have 4 feed ports going out to the hpop rails. I know V-Ref found a noticeable difference in idle quality etc between the 2 and 4 port feeds with the Stealths. I certainly want the smoothest idle I can get. My days of romping idle are cool ended with my 66' stang 351 stroked to a 408 with a large cam. I do not want my coffee spilling sitting at a light from a rompy idle. LOL [/QUOTE]
