I don't like splayed mains because:
They take more material away from main webbing that already cracks.
On a 2bolt sbc, they are adding clamping force and distributing it deeper into the block which is why it works well on that setup.
That is great info Bobbie, Thank you. TD and myself are thinking about modifying the pump inlet to flow more fuel into the pump so there might be some improvement in fueling afterwards.
It's ok Matt, I'm not full throttle all the time either, but when I put as much money into my truck as i have, I want it to Haul Ass when I stomp on it. Its kinda disheartening to stomp on it and the turbo whistles and the boost gauge goes up but the egt doesn't really climb and you don't feel...

There is a guy that has a pulling tractor in Finland or somewhere with dual db2 pumps on it. Totally custom work and you might have already seen it.
Those engines are simply awsome. They have a WICKED sound to them, especially the 16L big boy they have. 625hp and over 2k lb-ft or torque...
Lack of fuel is the major issue with these engines. Find a way to fuel them and they can make more power with the proper mods. With all the enthusiasm that the 6.2/6.5 engines are gaining, I'm sure that we're gonna see more creative ideas being tried on these engines.
6.2s are 130 to 160 depending on the version you have. Mine has a dyno tag on it from jasper when it was rebuilt says 150hp. It has a little more than that now.
Well, the more i think about it, the more i think i might want the six inch kit. It would give me more front driveline clearance and I am certain the tires wouldn't rub.
