I daily drive an LB7...

But, I REALLY enjoyed the 4094 stage 2 that I put on my buddy Camerons LMM to replace the stocker that failed. I spent probably the better part of 3 days adjusting the tuning in it and loved every minute of it. Built him a pretty simple DSP2 setup with a turbine braking tune, and a "kill mode" tune. His truck is stock fuel with a lift pump and full EGR delete. He drives the truck around 500 miles round trip to work every 2 weeks (he works on the rigs) plus tows trailers around in the winter loaded with 6+ sleds and it tows awesome. I've used his truck to tow my truck on a trailer multiple times (LB7 problems) and it makes me want an LMM in a bad way... Just my $0.02

I just see no reason to do it twice... Say you buy a VVT turbo you are really limited on growing unless you want to add a second turbo. IMHO whatever you do step into an S400 frame as you can change so cheaply

How much HP do you want to make? Stock bottom end? Future Plans?

A Cast S463 will drive like a S366, and support 700+ RWHP. A Billet S472 will support 900+. The FPE Billet S468 will as well but will drive much better than the 72....
