For you diesel guys (Ford 6.7 until something breaks)

[8mpg]

H&S did an awesome dyno until it dies run yesterday on the Ford 6.7 powerstroke. It ended up doing 884hp 1668.9 tq and the transmission died. These guys know how to advertise their product trying to trash a $15k motor.

I guess I don't understand the point? Are they planning to race it? Or just see how fast it can consume $4+/gallon fuel? And yeah, the motor still works but now you get to spend another $3k-$5k on transmission work just to fix that, and then what when you break it again?

I'm all for big numbers, tons of torque, etc. but at what point do you have to stop and ask yourself "why am I going bigger when the rest of the vehicle can't take it"? And who pays to fix the trans? The owner or the shop?

I wish it would have been done a smaller tires. Those 40" tires had to mess with the numbers and lead to the demise of the transmission early.

I still think the 6r140 and the 5r110w are the toughest transmissions available in a light duty. I've seen allisons shit the bed with less than 500 rwhp.

I agree with you on the tranny. I had 192k on mine (06), towing, with a programmer since day 1, before it shit the bed.

I'm guessing the point is to show what they can do with the truck so customers will give them money to hotrod their stuff. That’s if I had to guess.
Same reason shops spend time and money building a car to take to SEMA

Im just interested to see what these motors can really take.

Um.. It's right in the title of the page on that link:

About:
In order for us to continue designing innovative products, every now-and-then we need to push a test vehicle to its absolute limits; we need to find its breaking point.

An that should answer the rest of the questions you posted too.

LOL, they wanted to see what the limit of the 6.7 is. Nobody has pushed a 6.7 that far to date. They didn't find it even at almost 900rwhp. And the trans slipped is the reason they quit pushing farther.

Kind a proves that their 500hp tuners are safe for the everyday driver who wants to have some fun with their truck, doesn't it?

Man, your post reeks of "no fun allowed"

Forrest, does anyone really need anything besides missionary position?
