Anyone running something similar? Any ideas on Wheel Horsepower? Anyone Dyno? Thanks guys!!!
short term power vs reliability
pre 2015’s can barely handle stock power with out splitting cranks, bending rods, cracking heads, spinning bearings. In 2015 the 6.7 went to a more robust crank design, more metal in the heads, and coated bearings.
To increase reliability even further , in 2020 the change to iron pistons, thicker rods, and even more metal in critical areas will occur.

Don't forget the ceramic ball bearings in the smaller 11 to 14 turbo.

What would you recommend to increase the reliability of a ‘13 short of swapping all of those parts? Are you saying that a tune like that will decrease reliability and lifespan? Or beating on it like a race car will?

Where are you reading this? With good tuning and a max effort/race file, there isn’t enough fuel and air available to really stress the engine or the transmission on an 11-14 truck.
Anything is possible. Especially with poor tuning or an initial underlying issue. But your statement doesn’t relflect the aftermarket “norm” for the 11-14 6.7s with stock fuel and air.

Delete it and don’t drive it like a complete idiot. You can drive it like an idiot and have some fun, but don’t go full “complete” idiot and expect not to have problems. The first thing that will go first is the turbo if pushed hard enough.
