Rods and some cut LLY pistons the least. there are plenty of threads on the net about motor builds. Check out over on duramax diesel .com, its more of a hot rod diesel site. Plenty of info over there. also where have you been reading all this info that a 700hp is the beginning of stock bottom end safety?

I saw some posts on here, the diesel place .com and talked to someone while i was at The Hammers in Johnson Valley, a performance builder (he said 650 or so, IIRC).

There has been a few people at 650whp on a stock motor but they were not LBZ's...

Definitely good to know. I appreciate the information correction. I doubt I'll be anywhere near pushing the bottom-end damaging power until I have better turbo, though.

Does anyone have any input on the Banks Intercooler System? Any good for lowering EGTS?

We have had good luck with the Banks intercoolers. They do help egt's.

Yea, off the cuff question that's been roaming around in back.

I appreciate all the help and info, it's crazy to finally find a forum where it's people helping instead of just talking smack.

oh, my bad didnt see it, lol. I was wondering if it was Todd that was running one. I debated this awhile back, I'm going to have to talk to todd and see what he thinks of it and what he saw with it.
