Message: [QUOTE="windrunner408, post: 906462, member: 1868"] It's AMAZING how much more abuse stuff can take if the motor is at full operating temperature. While I drive like a grandma most of the time anyways, I pretty much always let my truck idle for about 30-60 secs and then start driving easy (to help the heat up process and not just waste fuel idling). I just never go above about 20% throttle until it is warm and so far it's been solid (as far as the rotating assembly and what not goes) for 45k miles of either tuned and/or tuned and upgraded with injectors and turbos. I've done HGs twice for other reasons but it wasn't because they failed. The truck has had a lot of sh!t done to it trying various stuff and it is still running great. Current HG setup is RCD's Black Platinums with regular ARPs torqued to 225ft-lbs. [/QUOTE]
