[QUOTE="DocBar, post: 489883, member: 433"] I'm just tired of guys buying a good ole 7.3 and thinking a few $1000 is gonna turn it into a monster. It just ain't gonna happen and it gives builders/tuners/vendors a bad rep when it's overly optimistic expectations that do a motor in. I keep my motor alive by rarely pushing it to its limits, only pushing it when it's at NOT and being very regimented in proper maintenance. I also asked Matt to keep the all out tune well below the tru all out of the motor. If I want to go to the strip and show off, I put DI's chip in and haul ass to the tune of high 12's in the 1/4. On a DD basis, I run around 400rwhp with an all out of 500rwho in the race tune. I don't, under any circumstances, race on public streets so 500rwhp is plenty for me. I can **** and git before the **** hits the fan with 500rwhp in most cases. I have ~$33K in my build, including new parts for the compound set up but not including the primary turbo. That's a bunch of money but my set up should live at the ~700+ RWHP that the compound set up should deliver. [/QUOTE]
