Absolutely awesome. Just giving some words of encouragement: Good luck! Judging by your work and writeup on the Adrenaline and Overdrive install I think you'll hardly need it though.

This will be way cool , already subscribed. I am hopping to learn what will work on my 2003 F350 since the platforms are comparable without blowing up my truck. Good luck.

Okay folks... It looks like we just upped the ante.



Yes folks, those are rod bolts which mean the engine is a PMR engine. Not only do we have to contend with head gaskets, we also have to contend with bottom end reliability. This really doesn't change anything and I'm still going to shoot for 600 HP, it just means that tuning is going to be über critical. Of course, given this new information I will be making the decision to install head studs before stepping past Stage 1 injectors. This will eliminate one area concern and because it can be done without compromising the original head seal, I feel that it doesn't completely invalidate the test.

I will be doing the studs after I test the Stage 1's. I will most likely wait on the fuel system until I can get the Stage 2's installed so I can dyno before and after the fuel system installation. I'll also probably hold the turbo mods until Stage 2's so we can test different configurations.

Once through the Stage 2 injectors, and assuming that the HPOP makes it that far, we'll upgrade the HP oil system and the turbo. This is, of course, assuming the rods haven't scattered yet. I can't see any reason why we can't hit 500 HP on PMRs, and if we make the 600 HP mark then that would be really cool. If not, then oh well.

Like I said, it's gonna be interesting!

Sounds like you're worried about those rods......
If you are then get them changed before you window the block.
