I'll be driving mine all the time. Gonna keep it under 500 rwhp on the street however. I think DDing with 600+ is what did my motor in. Rolling burnouts were too much fun!
Built daily drivers??

I never go over 1/2 throttle on the street I would imagine that is the reason my engine has lasted so long.
James, don't hate me because I run 11's on a stock engine
psshhh, apparently no faster than a 20 on the street though. :roflmao:
how much rwhp do yalls DD street tunes have? like what power level does your engine constantly take?
I definitely wasnt easy on mine. It saw WOT at least once a day.
The only difference between my street tune and race tune was 5º of timing and 200µs. I'd say it was real close to 600rwhp on a daily basis. I drove the piss out of it after the turbo and nozzles. Put roughly 8k on it in less than 6 months. Drove it to & raced at TS, Buckeye Blast & Numidia plus about 25-30 passes at the local track.
chris you put your truck through some abnormal abuse. im running mine daily on maybe a 450hp tune...MAYBE
Never dynoed mine before but going of the calculator somewhere around 750 ish going off the calculators.
I counted up my time slips and there was 143!
It had a hard life, that's for sure. I was a freak about maintenance so thats prob why it lasted almost 3 years with a built trans & tuning. I DD for 2 years at 450 with the stock charger.
I'm starting more and more to believe this.
I towed my truck from IL to PA for numidia in a stock turbo/built trans max effort tune only....Did perfectly fine. Hit 1250 degrees EGT once and for a split second.
most of my daily driving is under 2000 rpms, so trying to spool this things either leads to....rolling coal for half a mile, or hitting the downshift, blowing a giant cloud of smoke then shooting off un-neccessarly fast. my small tunes dont blow any smoke and still spool really well. anything over 10psi is a loss of traction in the rain
i DD mine on the 450 tune #1 tune which has way less timing and pw than a stock tune lol. only go to the 650-700 at the track lol
