Low end torque is what breaks our blocks and kills the stock rods in the first place. Don't think we need more of that. LOL

Mine has minimal traction until 4th gear at times. I've spun 'em on dry pavement quite a few times at 40-50mph. LOL.

Yeah, gonna get a block and start the right way, slow and steady without rushing it.

Get me a head job like you did travis, and I should be good with some good springs.
Then just have to save up for some nice pushrods and headstuds and the rebuild kit.
New oil pan too, mines lookin kinda ratty.

And the stroker kit actually was mentioned out of curiosity cause they make a 427 kit for the 6.6 D-Max, and i dont see how it couldnt help us any. Stroker kits are known for adding more low end torque... But for the money one would be it would probably only be a 'last thing to get last little amount'

something about that whole last 10% of power costs 90% of the money...

Parallel stockers has been done.. Don't remember the injectors used, but the stock turbine housings was too big and had a lot of trouble spooling. smaller housings woulda helped, but never happened as the project was aborted and the truck got sold...
