I am thinking I would like 375-400 hp when done. Streetable, tow a trailer on occasion and hopefully push some snow again.

There are benefits and drawbacks, but it's a serious mod to eliminate something that doesn't prevent you from reaching your 375-400 HP goal.

Stinky is stock-ish. Here's what plays out in my head when I consider a mod: "Can a Ford technician walk up to this and feel comfortable with servicing it?" If you have a Ford long block and a mish-mash of 27 vendor parts in there, nobody wants to work on it or buy it. It becomes all yours... to have and to hold.

What happened to your JW? Do you have a 6.0 trans cooler in your truck, if not, get one.

Possibly one who modifies all the reliability out of it and can no longer afford to keep it on the road. That's the fear that keeps my decisions on the conservative side of the testostometer.

It happens. While BTS puts in all billet shafts and on and on, JW tow master dosen't. Its all addons unless he's changed. He makes a great Transmission I have one because I'm on the west coast, but if I wasn't it would of been BTS.
