it's capable of more than 700 just depends on what box they put on.

Can't wait to see the truck! I thought he was going with twins from II the last I spoke with him? What made him change his mind?



Never mind his truck... how's your engine build-up going?

NOT SURE YET, MIGHT START TO HIT A FEW PULLS... .

sounds like a great setup so far. just make sure you have a clutch/transmission to hold all that power. I say 650 hp on the dyno

I have a new cylinder head coming for an 06:

Just a heads up if you don't already know, the 06's exhaust valves are now set at 0. 026 rather than the 0. 020.



The intake valve clearance remains the same as the previous years: 0. 010

isnt it like that because the 06 eng runs hotter, i will play with valve lash settings hot and cold to see the differences, thanks for the info

I was told that the valve seats are made from a different material than previous years. I don't know if it's true though, one thing I do know for sure is the 06 DOES RUN MUCH WARMER than any of my other trucks have!



If I were you I would find out for sure if the seats are indeed made of a different material, seems to me that adjusting the EX valves to 0. 020 could hurt your wallet.

Hopefully in the next few weeks I'll head up to Meridian, Idaho. I've spent the past couple of weekends fixing a lot of minor exhaust and fuel leaks, which should also help performance going forward. I've also been playing around with different boxes with the modded CP3 to see what feels best to me before I go dyno so I don't waste a lot of time.



I still have to install my new DD clutch and upgraded hydraulics sitting in my garage the past 3 months. Might get Bear to help me since I helped him install his DD clutch :-laf . He just lives down the street from me so that is pretty convenient. I have all the tools and transmission jack etc. - it's just a matter of getting motivated now.
