<p>[QUOTE="turbobandit, post: 11308694, member: 210353"]That might hurt YOUR turned up engine, it won’t hurt a STOCK engine. I don’t think you can hurt today’s engines... there isn’t enough fuel at that rpm to do it. Don’t forget that the 12.7 from ‘99 up came with the tiny Garrett wastegated turbo that will spool even quicker than the K-31, but is a known stopper backpressure-wise, not to mention they blew up regularly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
