    whats better???

    throwing 2 cents... I agree with the race valve it solved my issues early on as well. I did the FPRV as well cause i didn't understand... turns out it's been a good thing with the CP-3 mods that are kicking up volumns/pressures. Anyway if i had nothing to do on a Saturday, I would do the same...

    Duramax Stroker Questions...

    Ohhh! well yea, initially no replacement for displacment. But jeeez if the cost of Duramax billet rods is double or more of BBC billets (roughly same dimension) than that's a $3000 crank, now the rods are special, the pistons are special and we gotta bore +20. No we have a 30k motor with no off...

    Duramax Stroker Questions...

    Initially this is my simpleton take. How would it be done in a Duramax? De-stroking moves the powerband up in the RPM range, the piston doesn't remain near TDC as long, requiring more RPM to do the same work, Fairly easy as i remember, shorter rotating assembly or change the crank...

    Beginning of the end?

    Yea... building stocker from original truck. I was so bummed to be unable to find a core. Well... i had one 45 minutes North of me early on, get this... $2500, out of a LLY, 43k miles. I blew it, plain and simple! I had heard that a decent core goes for 900-1000 so i passed. After that botch...

    I'm gonna read it again, but want to offer this in case you are so deep in the forest you can't see the tree?. Ya know what i mean? Sometimes we get so involved we miss something easy. No disrespect intended. This is my first shot in the dark, stab at the issue. I wanna look at signal and...

    Beginning of the end?

    no kidding, it'll double the cost of the blasted truck, I bought used BTW. Can you imagine the bruised ego of say an AMG Benzer 63? He paid 150-160k.... M-5 105k. I swear I'll keep the A/C and cruise control!

    SCARY FAST? I am not a big numbers guy, maybe 1000 + HP, who knows, to early to tell. At this point i think I'd be happy to get 850 to the ground. Compounds, Injectors, Rods, Pistons, linked...:barf: And a slew of custom fab:secret::secret:.

    Beginning of the end?

    Intimidating yes, exciting... YES. Actually it's not as bad as i say. It's the routing of the wires, main trunk harness has a single wire (starter) that runs down and under the front of the motor, when it turns the corner parallel to the oil pan it sucks up tight to the block and is coupled...
