Let's not get out of control with this and stay on topic but if your tuned and still going strong on stock head bolts lets hear it I have the mods in my sig on stock head bolts no problem so far I know on a 6.0 it's not if they blow it's when they blow I know this but how many miles on stock bolts have y'all gone?
I have dynoed 397hp can't remember torque on just bullydog power pup and have 28,000 miles since I bought it a year ago total miles 131,000 at 117,000 miles I did stand pipes dummy plugs stc fitting and egr delete now I'm runnin looney tune and in the plans r ficm tune and a new fuel system
mine were done at 50 k IIRC after running a headstud safe tune for a year
However I think the dealer may have been looking for something to do since I never had an issue it was in for an oil cooler
My trucks been tuned from the day I got it! 65000 on it now and didn't hav one problem with it! Run Sct looney tune! I run the balls off the truck! I lov my 6.0!
got the truck at 215k was all stock put guages,exhaust and a superchips cortex im at 235k now no probs with hg's yet..... sct is in the mail as we speak.
Have over 177k on it now and it was stock till 169k been running srl since then and doing good. Tried to dyno it yesterday but got strapped in right as the dyno quit
12,650 currently and loving every minute. Going to pick up a Looney and see which I like better, and at some point will do the studs so I can pump up the power
Im at 155k on stock bolts. Has anyone tried the Looney Wild with stock bolts yet? I havent tried it as to Vivian doesnt reccomend it with the TTY's. But I was just curious
Dont be, as long as you have a good monitor system and everything is in check, and you dont abuse it there is no reason your headbolts wont last, not saying stuff doesnt happen but I feel it would be very unlikely. I run the Super Pantie Dropper with a Pmax on stock headbolts and am fine.
136k total miles and 40,000 miles with 420 RWHP, Innovative xtreme tune all day everyday even towing 10k, it its texas... I may be asking for a disaster they way I drive it tho..
I'm running innovative extreme race tune as a dd and I drive like I'm on fire from time to time with 135000 on the clock and now issues yet. Mi put down 428rwhp and 761ftlbs. And I run 35's.
mad 405 drove it from 88xxx-121xxx tuned innovative extreme race was fine until we hit it with a little nitrous made 525 and 915 just spraying through the filter ran fine for a few more weeks until a heavy load and a led foot took care of the gaskets.
