Anything over 450 and you are on borrowed time with a stock bottom end.
Got a partial fill and girdle but, missing billet rods though.
I bet that girdle will do the job
Another with a girdle blew with 250/200's.

Where do you come up with this stuff? Good tuning can make a motor live a long time

good tunin and drivin sensibly makes things last for a long time
I would think with a girdle, the torque curve in the right place and some nice live tunning you'd be ok. Are you talking about maddiesles build?

Watching over the years of failure after failure. 6.0's and 6.4's don't go through bottom ends because of how the main caps are all tied together thus not allowing the crank to walk if you will, but on a 7.3 the main caps are not tied together creating a weak bottom and allowing stuff to walk creating the issues. I do agree tuning does play a part but in the end its still a weak bottom end that unless "beefed" up will come apart. There are the few who have made 500+ hp and have had thousand's of miles on there motor's but most likely daily driving in a lower power tune and never using the full 500+ potential everyday or working there truck hard.
