Well, I voted for Bill because as was stated above Bill is pushing his until it pops. Cody is building his to still be a reliable workhorse. I am more interested in seeing what Cody does with his truck though, as it more closely matches what I and most other people are actually going for.

Its going to be interesting to see how far Bill can push his PMR's. I am betting they will make it much farther than the standard 400 HP limit.

So Cody might just be the winner by default! LOL

I knew it....Bill's going to have fun with his. He DOES have powedered metal rods.

I should buy the engine off of him before he ruins a good block.

That would probably be a good idea.......

But when he is done with the block, there could be a nice window in it to brighten the place up.:doh:

BTW, vote for Pedro.

Updates!! I got my money in bill. He did write my tunes :-)

As I've state before, the purpose of our build (which isn't all that dissimilar from Cody's) is to see just what we can reliably hold down. I'd like to be able to hit 600 HP on an unmodified (with the exception of head studs) PMR block. We've got the CP testing equipment in so that we can see just what's going on in the engine and that, combined with high-speed datalogging and dyno plots, should provide a fair picture of what sort of abuse we're putting these engines through under a variety of modifications and whether or not we can actually achieve the numbers we're hoping.

It'll be interesting. I know that Cody is going for a reliable, mild powered daily worker and I'm 100% behind him on that. 99.9% of the time, that's my goal as well. However, sometimes you just have to wonder would happen if... :D

From over here that echos, "hold my beer and watch this." :hehe:

That will be a good test. You took a standard block that had already gone through a previous life. Almost like that ecoboost challenge but oriented for performance mods more than engine durability alone.

That's kinda what I was thinking. Hey y'all watch this.:smiley_roll1:
