Why would it be easier? Except for adding IC, you still have to upgrade the same parts.

He might have thought 500hp lots of SDs make it to...because you have so many people buying a fancy tuner. Putting some gauges and lights all over the truck and rolling coal making it look like they put out crazy numbers.
Yet never have a dyno sheet to prove it.
Now that Ive read up enough on PSDs I notice it more. People saying "well from the factory she has 275... I put an intake and exhaust and chip and shes up to about 450"

Most of us avoid the banks stuff. IC is a good item but way too expensive. DIY a lot cheaper. The rest, there are better choices.
As far as making 500 hp, I'd say its much easier with an obs truck. The superdutys after sometime in 2000 have the powder forged connecting rods, cheaper and not as strong. In order to make those hp numbers, a complete bottom end rebuild should be done first.

It can be done on PMR's but I think it's a ticking time bomb just waiting to go off.

Don't worry about PMR's. They used all forged connecting rods in the OBS 7.3's. You only had to worry about the PMRs in the later 7.3's in the Super Duty trucks (I want to say 2001 and newer, but don't quote me on that).
