I think one of the guys in this years Diesel Power Challenge had a 7.1L. Although I heard that they had it tuned very conservatively, and left a lot on the table. There's at least one guy on DD who has one as well. But if I had to guess there's probably less than a dozen of them in the whole country. I may be wrong, but you just don't hear about them, even the big names in the industry can only name a couple of people who have them.

I rode in one a few weeks ago at Merchants. It had twins and a mild tow tune. Silly power, but seemed very tamed for the street. Must have been the tuner

It sounded so much different than a 6.6.

Because its insanely strong and there's no replacement for displacement. It costs only a few thousand more for the stroker than a regular build, so why not?

I guess if you have that kind of money to throw around, what's a few more thousand huh?

pricey, but would be cool though

Alright guys if I win the lottery one day I will put the 7.1 kit in so then I can tell you how it preforms but then I will also put a duraflit on also so you will know how that performs.
