    Welp I'll listen I guess with this pre low nox 430 file and 74 -19 will suffice 28lbs of boost she's pulling hard.

    Now I'm looking for a 12.7 detroit to beat on lol.

    If u flashed a lower than originally 430hp engine with a 430 tune you are going to have serious problems in a short time...the lower hp motors all have one piece aluminum pistons and will not hold up to the heat generated by the 430hp or larger tunes..the 430 and larger have a articulated steel crown/aluminum skirt piston and the aluminum piston will not take it no matter how u say your driving it!! I don't care if it was 410hp before the files have alot different timing curve that directly affect how much heat is focused on the piston. I. Not trying to be the negative Nelly but you really want to get that 430 tune out of it immediately. Good luck.
