3500 coming. Advise
Selling my street bike to build on my 7.3. I want stage 3's, hpop 100$ upgrade,hd tq converter, and head bolts. Kinda worried on how long she will last though. With the pmr's that is. What's your advise for me?

My advice would be to put all that money towards a BTS transmission. With your plans, you're going to grenade something, and sooner rather than later. If you have 3.73 gears in your Ex and you're running 35s, your tranny is already taking a beating with your "one lead foot". 4.10s and you're OK, but still... I fear for your bank account and the life of your rig, because 7.3 PSD are not cheap to make fast.

My advice would be hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Mine has been surviving well above what "they" say it should on PMRs, so it can be done. Stock PMR block, and a TransGo mod'ed 4R100 with a 6.0L cooler (and stock 265s on a 2wd truck) holding ~450/1000 at the wheels. Go figure.
