    I believe the block is weaker on the 6TS. I wouldn't go past 600 with it, but I could be wrong.

    @Superhauler will have a better idea on how much hp you can safely have.

    Don't run hot codes, drive like ya got a brain, don't go over 800...They'll crack between the plugs in the side of the block where they drill the mains....usually between 5&6 but mine cracked between 3&4 by the turbo drain. It was tuned at one of those "performance shops" in southern missery

    Towing and recovery we called them clevis. Worked a 8O ton rotator back then. Got in trouble for putting a sticker on boom that said " Fully Erect" at 54 foot.

    Hope I was behaving myself!

    Tried a day without cigarettes for a change - felt like I was stoned. Caved in after 18 hours. Baby steps.

    I wanna say I'll follow my advise. But I wont. After having 5 budging discs and 1 ruptured in my neck last year you would think I would. Dad at 63 years old decided he shouldn't pickup his grease gun. Pump, cart, 16 gallon keg, with hose and started to use a ramp to load it in a pickup. Guess I'm a lady, at 38 I bought a Milwalkee cordless. But those guys didnt have those a available at the time.

    Depends on what rpm you pull at. The lower the rpm, the hotter the EGTs. That too would be dependent on things like the rear end gear ratio and your horsepower settings.

    Yes you were. Quitting smoking is tough. I did it though. It’s been over ten years now. Keep at it. You’ll get there.
