i called our FSE today. he is very familliar with the big oil system. he said he has two relatives that were playing with it 10 years ago, and run it to this day, and also have replaced a lot of parts and a few motors from the excess stress. he stated, just like some of you guys who run it have, that the system in and of itself does not cause the damage....its the fact that with that strong and crisp of a feeling power band, you tend not to be able to keep your foot out of it and thus with a better performing fuel system it causes issues to present themselves long before they ever should, and that the factory pump is also part of the "de-tuned" condition that most of us know is presant on the superduty 7.3. he also gave me a laundry list of reasons why someone who doesnt have the money to fix problems should not do it. he also stated that his modded 2000 7.3 with no big oil(which out runs his stock 05 6.0.....must be nice to make six digits) would outrun his brothers truck that had the big oil on it. he gave me a lot of technical info, hes an enganeer....he gets paid well for the amount of knoledge he has to have, and he stated that this is not a mod for 95% of diesel owners looking for power. im not gonna get into the points he brought up, as these guys running it are gonna want to try to massacre what someone with a 6 year degree had to tell me.....and im done posting on this, you guys can say what you want and discuss it all you want, but my opinion is i would not reccomend this for most of the guys on here..........take that for what its worth and from what i have learned....this is a good mod for making a very strong running truck, so if you are not worried about any of the things i have given for negatives on the system....then i would say go for it....
