new long block 6.2

[greg hope]

I recently posted a thread in the forum about my 2011 pro charger raptor blowing a head gasket and destroying the engine. so now I have a brand new crate long block going in, and supercharger being reinstalled. the truck only has 100,000km on the body, and in great shape inside and out. Should I worry about 650 hp doing damage again? I bought it with 95,000 km on it and only put 5,000km before it went. I should be able to let this beast perform without worries or thousands of dollars in repairs!? any tips on maintenance and care would be appreciated. it also does not exceed 6lbs of boost, so not sure wtf. also, how can I tell if ford has reset the sct to the staged setting. I would not put it past a ford dealership to try pull a fast one. I'm not mechanically inclined so any suggestions are appreciated. thanks!

You can use the SCT device to tell you what tune file is on your truck. I would not worry at all about a stock 6.2 at 6 psi as long as the tune is good. I have run mine well past that level, as have many others.

I would get a different tune for sure. Do you have the stage 1 or HO system?

Second on the Tune if your really insistent on sticking with the Procharger.

Livernois's Tune is the Tune to run.

Everybody says to get the billet oil pump gears to replace the stock cast gears... seems like a good idea and if the motor is out of the truck then right now would be the time to do it.
