    Yeah I have had some low 13 passes on the 225 hp tune, water meth, and a 50 shot of n2o. I have never run the 350 tune. Im sure it will be 12s pretty easy. we will see, I dont like to do any guess racing.....

    You do know at the 600rwhp level people start screwing motors up right? With the 350 tune and a 200 shot you will be well over 600rwhp unless you just dont care and want to build a badass motor for it. I priced out building a badass forged dmax out of an LB7 block and holy ****, its an EASY 15K, probably closer to 20K for the motor I would really want but I would have 1000rwhp and almsot 2000ftlbs of tq thats totally streetable

    Ive had a dmax every year since 01, lb7, lly,lbz and ran the same on all, they are hard to hurt. i beat pretty hard on them, I usually have over 150k miles and around 6-7k hours on them. havent hurt a motor yet. 1st time for everything.....

    That is the point at which reliability goes down the tubes, any little hiccup can toast the motor. The owner of nasty girl is also one of the best tuners in the nations truck. Im just basing it on what Ive read on dp on all the motors that have blown up. The lBZ may be bit a mroe resistant due to it lower CR and better block. There are some 5.3 engines putting down 600rwhp with boost and are totally stock internally but they arent going to last forever. If you arent worried about long term realibility then go for it, me on the other hand I dont want to be replacing a motor any time soon.
