My mechanic just contacted them this morning and they are going to work with him on the tune. Small world haha5 Star got over 500 lb ft crank on tune only. I think most tunes put it over 500 lb ft.

I see that you’re from CA and I’m wondering if you have a secret on getting around strict emission laws? Is this gonna be a off highway unit when completed? Pretty cool project though and keep us informed.My 7.3 Godzilla arrives from summit tomorrow to my mechanics shop and we are starting the swap. From what I’ve been able to find, a lot of people are interested in this swap yet no one has done it. I’ll keep posting progress along the way but I’m already invested so it’s happening now one way or another. I just couldn’t bring myself to buy another 5.4 after all the issues that engine gave me.
Off-road use only now, which isn’t to bad since majority of the roads in my county are rough dirt logging roads, I will probably chance it driving the 5-10 miles from my house to the hills where i can hit some trails but no long hauls anymore, will be useful dragging heavy equipment around with a crew where I need 4x4.I see that you’re from CA and I’m wondering if you have a secret on getting around strict emission laws?

Yeah it should be quite the Mule.Off-road use only now, which isn’t to bad since majority of the roads in my county are rough dirt logging roads, I will probably chance it driving the 5-10 miles from my house to the hills where i can hit some trails but no long hauls anymore, will be useful dragging heavy equipment around with a crew where I need 4x4.
Its a bit surreal, it’s been a lot of waiting on parts mainly. There was a big delay with the harness and ecu. Now with this axle job to solve the oil pan issue...whatever comes up, I will make sure to post about so people can do this aswell. Going to be one amazing car when it’s all done. Plus with used car prices so high and dealerships up charging, getting this done is still a cheaper option then buying a new 4th gen MAX. Plus I’ll have 515hp and eventually 1,000 + with the whipple once it’s available. We did find out I’ll need a new gauge cluster, going with a 12.5” touch screen Holley efi.crazy that this is actually taking place lol
