PM price shipped to 98225. Thanks.

Turbo included? If so, what are the specs?

Great post Curtis. One thing to remain cognisant of, when spinning 4000+ rpms (free rev or not), is that you have a rather large chunk of aluminum accelerating rapidly at BDC and TDC. I have not done an FEA on a 7.3L piston to see what the acceleration threshold is, but per Mahle the limitation...

I really don't mean to steal your thunder, I can dig the enthusiasm, but like others have said you aren't doing anything groundbreaking. The last bone stock 7.3 I had apart had kisses on all 8 pistons from the valves. Short gears (4.56 IIRC), ZF-6, Superchip gold pulling a 24" goose-neck at...

Piston speed is only part of the equation. Reciprocating mass also has to be considered. At 4100 you are going to have piston to valve contact with the stock cam profile and valve springs. Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk

Lefty tighty - Rightly loosey. Fan clutches are reverse threaded. If that's not the issue, you may have to cut the hub off or remove the water pump.

Critical speed of a shaft, or the speed where it folds itself up into a taco, increases as shaft diameter and wall thickness increases. Decreases as shaft length increases. Modulus of elasticity, mass, and CG also play in. If you are feeling mathy ...

Not saying it won't work for a temporary solution...just wouldn't run it like that indefinitely. Especially with the power you are pushing. Air temps aside I've seen some nasty chit happen when cylinders aren't breathing equally. Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk

Navier-stokes would disagree with that statement.... Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk

I really don't know how to say what I'm trying to say anymore explicitly, but here goes... A modified valve body and a kit from TransGo is redundant. All of the valve body components that are included with the Tugger have already been replaced by whoever built the valve body. The only...

You have nothing to gain by installing the TransGo VB mods in the JW valve body. There is a potential for decreased performance, say if you over-sized an orifice that has previously been massaged by JW. This is not a case where 'more is better'.

I use one of these guys: http://www.spx.com/en/power-team/pd-bottle-jack-6-15t-telescoping/ Paired with one of these guys: http://safejacks.com/collections/bottle-jack-accessories/products/axle-tube-pad-for-bottle-jack This kit is essentially the same thing...

10-4. Was just curious how far you had loosened it for the 66mm (or 68?) inducer. Sounds like spool is not an issue however.

Very cool. I did not think an aftermarket converter had been released yet, but I haven't been following the 6.7 game too closely. 2600 effective stall now? Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk

She chooch's for a few minutes on a cold start, and a gear reduction starter is necessary...but after having to pull the head to retrieve a stuck GP tip (Beru) I vowed to fix the issue permanently.
