Message: [QUOTE="ja_cain, post: 1254446, member: 11928"] This is what I was thinking if you have forged rods. It will keep you honest and the truck will have a higher probability of lasting longer. With the hybrids, it could be a waste of the extra capacity if you never upgrade the nozzles. Also, if you do up the nozzle size then the motor could go pop at any time even with forged rods. Based on some if the comments from Dave at swamps, 500 horse power (with some reliability built in) is a big jump in cost. It just doesn't make sense to me to throw that much money at these trucks. Now if you have a few extra motors sitting around that you didn't pay an arm and leg for, that's a different story. Lincoln made a good comment that the tuning has come a long way with regards to PMR longevity. Still better to error on the conservative side though. The other thing about your situation is that you have a zf. Once you get above 400 hp, it's hard to shift fast enough to really take advantage of the extra power. Plus, the single disc clutches can't handle a whole lot of power. The dd clutches slow the shifting down even more. 400 hp is a good healthy number that doesn't require a bunch of expensive ancillary mods. Turbo, injectors, up-pipes and clutch. The chit really starts to add up quick on these trucks. [/QUOTE]
