A 7.3 will live a long time at 400-450... anything above that is a guessing game. A 5.9 will live a long time at 600-650.... Which one would you pick....
Now that you put like that, you are absolutely correct Joe. I have $12K into mine plus another $5K in the tranny. And Now I have started building fully built lower to put in by next pulling season. My goal is 550hp for a daily driver. If I can not get it with my current sticks and turbo then I will live with what it makes. But I will not sacrifice the ability to tow and right now it tows better than any truck I have ever driven including my brothers cummins.
