[QUOTE="thatdude, post: 1441883, member: 27697"] Are you going to Mahle cast or forged pistons? I can tell you right now from speaking with a sales rep and an engineer from Mahle at PRI in December these pistons are not meant for a DD. They have a very limited cycle life. Not so much mileage, but hot-cold expansion due to not having having a steel ring groove. I was told expect a 50-75k life out of them and was advised to for a build of that nature to just go with cast pistons, get them coated, delipped and valve relief and call it a job well done. Many trucks are running over 1000RHWP no issues on those pistons. Forged pistons are more of your 1500-2000HP trucks (yes they do exist for all you people living under a rock) that are gonna get torn down every other season. As for your injector choice... You could honestly make that 700 RWHP with much smaller injectors. You'd need to dump that old school turbo and do something better with your fuel system and heads. Ron at Hypermax and Brian at BTS have made 400 on stock superduty injectors but it was more involved than just your run of the mill boltons and generic tuning. I wouldn't bother with the girdle honestly because those caps are still going to float, just float less compared to stock. Go big or go home and get a bedplate. Nothing wrong with your build it should work just fine but it's not how I would do it. My 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
