Thinking of goin CUMMINS

[Black Pwrstroke]

So heres the deal guys. I love power and Powerstroke but i cant afford to put the power i want into these motors. If i go to a 12 valve cummins i can make serious hp for a fraction of what it would cost me to do it to the old 7.3. Tell me what you think and if you will hate me if i do this.

a swap, or just getting a different truck?

is there anything wrong with your motor??

if there is i can understand....but if there isnt...then whats the point of dropping 10 grand into a motor swap when you could put the same money into your current motor and make some HP out of it..

I think it's 10k + the cost of the motor!

[humboldtstrokin']

I agree, with that kind of money, he should easily be able to get to 500hp

This 7.3 is startin to break me in mods alone, it cost to much to get power out of them.

k.....so your gonna exchange that for a truck thats gonna cost you just as much if not more just to keep the truck itself in working order (not counting the motor)??
