I'd love to go bigger but there are a lot of reasons I didn't want to:

It would require a LOT more fuel system ($$$$$), bigger turbo($$$$$), different trans/converter ($$$$$$$$$$$$) and so on and so forth, I figured I could stay under 370ci and still be in good shape with what I've got, that's why I chose the route I did, at the time, it seemed like sound logic...

I hate when you do things right the first time, and it still doesn't go your way

You probably didn't have your TB spacer on tight enough

Yeah, this motor is the one thing I've done I was hoping to put in and once maybe a few minor things were worked out, "set and forget" its been like this since day one with this thing, why would this be any different

**** man that totally blows! I know how you feel for the most part... I had to replace the rear main the DAY I got the truck running and now its still untuned and unmoved sucks to look at all your work just sitting in the driveway.

You think clearance on the crank was a little slim or something?

Wow, sorry to hear all that Ben! I was expecting that motor to be a beast!

Based off of the reputation Rex has I'm sure he'll make it right. Brian had that origionally built for him and I can't imagine between him and you that there hasn't been quite a bit of money spent on that mill.

I look forward to seeing the results when you throw some real boost at it once it's fixed and after you go through break-in all over again.
