from the borrowed time club. I will say I am going out by my choice. My motor is NOT broke :thumb: I have pushed a long, long way on my motor & just want to see how much better I can get the truck.

Good deal! Got the build plans?

Not exactly sure yet. Just decided Tuesday to get the old one out while it runs, pushed it hard & long enough :D All I know is what I am doing from the heads up. Would like to have it done for Schieds, Braydens event & then Erics event. We are pulling the motor Saturday and the heads are going in Sunday.

Someone can have my number also. It was a long fun road. It made 741hp in October 09 and it was still running when I parked it in November 2010. I hope yours looked as good as mine on the inside. Your truck was definitely a runner. I hate you kicked my butt in white plains:hug:

#11 out!

Someone can have my number also, I dont know what kind of horsepower mines making, but it does have potential :D....................40,000 plus miles twin turbos and duel fuelers, nearly 150000 miles on a stock motor :eek:

Todd, congrats on being able to retire from the club.
I have to say that Im very impressed you could keep that motor running that well at that power level for so long. Flat out amazing. :thumb:

I think its far better to be able to build a Duramax because you WANT to, not because you HAVE to.

If I can get mine (83) together, I'll have to take one of yalls number since it'll have bigger squirters, dual cp3s & an S475. :D

Just no funds yet to put even a mild short block together. I've got a cam & delipped lb7 pistons though. Wish it didn't need balanced to swap pistons.

Thanks for all your help with my issues, Ryan really doesn't know what he has coming!!!! haha he sent me a text message yesterday that said "why don't you grow some balls and come up to 2.6!!" I will make him regret those words :D
