you can be pulling a hill towing and warm it up for a little bit but he needs to cool back down pretty quick. i have saw sled pullers get close to the 2000 mark. some make it some dont. melted pistons is kind of weird looking things.

I hit 1100/1200 while towing my boat on my tiny little HY....talked to my mechanic (who happens to be a member..ohhh and the mad scientist with p-pumps) and we discussed it a bit....

you can do 1200...1100 was fine for me and he says they can withstand sustained runs at that....Quote, "they can run all day at 1100" I was worried cuz on my 99 I was used to 900-950 while towing.

How did that water meth kit help out? Im in the same exact situation, wondering if i should do new injectors and kick the jammer 150's, or do water meth and an exhaust manifold...?

i like it alot. i also ported and polished my head with bigger valves and a cam so i couldnt compare it from before. but with all that air now i can tow 100 mph+ and it dosent get over 1100. im ready to change out my pulce 150's with some ddp 200's i would try differnt injectors first unless you want the extra 50 h.p. from the water meth.
