the only boring i'd do on a 6.7 cummins would be a hole right in the side of the block. as i now wait for the dodge guys to see this and freak out. i've seen a couple 7.3's with mid 400k's and one with 888k

I love cummins motors too, worked on em both alot. but It bugs me that people hate on the biggest production diesel engine to go into a pickup, #1 selling pickup to boot and the HEUI system may not make insane power, but its a reliable workhorse and highly underrated torque monster long live the 7.3L powerstroke!!
