Casper: 13,000 miles... a 1/4 mile at a time! :D

Blue has 85k mostly towing and over 500 passes down the quarter, several sled pulls, and dozens of dyno hours.

Might as well ad mine, 163k. had a 6 gun which was tossed soon after put it in. Original trans Quit at 132k Then only an air intake. Since then little by little what you see in sig. Just curious to know how beefed up at big miles.

54000 km (33750 mi) currently. Put on a Bully Dog Power Pup at 800 km (500 mi) 45hp setting at first, then up to 70 hp. 4" duals went on at about 8000 km (5000 mi). Put on the PPE last spring unsure of mileage. Right now I have the PPE on the 160 hp tune, 4" duals, and an S&B intake. I had an AEM intake for about a week. Many more upgrades planned.

Currently 91k and 20+mpg.

Had Hot Edge at 6k. Trans built around 37k. Ran Edge Quad stack for a bit. Got EFILive. HTT installed at 66k. Other stuff randomly in the middle. Still runs...

Well, I got 44K out of my LBZ before she cracked # 4 piston. I have 54K on her now, with a stock pull out motor, running a modified stock tune with an intake, down pipe, 4" turbo dp back exhaust, blocked EGR, FASS lift pump and a shimmed fprv.

Prior to the piston crack, I had about 20 passes and about 7K on that motor at over 500 hp, the other 37K miles were at around 400hp and testing various tuners and boxes starting at 5K. Mods are in my sig.

Bought new and ran it stock for about 12k miles before I put an exhaust and Edge Juice on it. At about 18k miles I put a set of lift pumps on it. At about 22k miles I bought EFI and ran big tunes in it. At about 28k miles I put on a co-pilot and tie rod sleeves. At about 40k I put on the twins, cognito braces, and built the trans. At about 43k I built the trans again. At about 48k I built the motor and added bigger sticks and dual CP3s. At about 49k I built the trans again. Now about 52k I'm building the engine again.

Is the motor a stock or modify rebuild?

No idea what was done to it before I bought it at 84,000 miles. Have 144,000 on it now. Just estimating, I think I had the Juice module on it for until 115,000, then PPE until 135,000, EFILive for last 9,000 or so. I only run a big program when I'm going racing or pulling. Usually have stock tune or mild 50hp tune in the rest of the time.

Forgot to add...Miileage lately seems to be consistantly 17 overall no matter what tune I run. In town 15, highway 20.
