    I didn't either when I got it but with the impression of it having over 1 mil I wanted to see just how much more time I could squeeze out of her. Took it to a mechanic who did a blow-by test. Said he figures she was redone around 7-900k. I don't intend to go PP I'm not convinced those things are all they are cracked up to be plus I'd rather just have the TQ and HP tuned once and forget it. I feel that the 400hp/1450 settings could be up'ed to improve overall performance. Not Looking for a 700hp big cam or a 1000hp 51lb boost CAT motor. Just feel its not as efficient as it could be with better settings.
