I think a little more info will help. I think we might be a little over 300hp. It should be about 340hp to the ground net. The mods list: Stage1 single shot injectors, van turbo without the warm up valve, Magnaflow 4 inch stainless exhaust, AIS, TS performance chip 40tow, 60tow, 80tow, 80hp, fast idle, stock, ITP regulated return. "Old Reliable" may not be testing the outer limits of HP, due to PMR restrictions, but is somewhat close. The empty weight is 9,400 lbs with all the equipment, 118 gal fuel capacity, FS2500 by pass filtration on the motor, and tranny, two tool boxes, fifth wheel, goose neck, and bumper pull hitches, firestone ride rite helper springs, and compressor, six autometer guages, coolant filter, 6.0 tranny cooler. "Old Reliable" may not be the fastest, but it pulls like a freight train. So far, it has not had it's butt kicked by a Dodge, Chevy, or another Ford. There are many other quicker trucks out there, and one day it will get smoked. The thing is, for a work truck, it does very well. The mix of performance, and reliability is pretty good, for my application.
The BTS tranny gets a pretty good workout, and gets the job done. 448,000 miles on the BTS is excellent proof of reliability.
