If I summarize and say simple is better I think we are on the same page, although it is possible to build reliably at higher power levels. Exactly what tuners have been doing for a long time. Take a motor, add boost, blow motor, rebuild with something beefier and try again. No matter how you spin it at some power level things fail, but finding what fails allows you to then build beyond that. The only manufacturers can learn this is to try it. Regrettably this means that we the consumers are now more beta testers than ever. Moving to the category of I don't want a first generation of anything. It used to just be a first year, but now it is a complete generation. Good example of power building is just looking in my garage. My 600cc snowmobile that stock is around 120hp is sitting well over 155hp now. No forced induction and a 30% gain. I don't expect to still be able to get 10,000 miles from it before rebuilding, but 5k is absolutely no problem. At that point I'll just drop in some fresh pistons as they are what tends to go. Found the weak link and dealt with it. Does cost me $80/piston though. Long term I am fine with the downsizing AS LONG as there are still options for the enthusiast cars. A strung out 4 banger with no room to grow doesn't work for me as manufacturers typically choose to release things with 30-40% less power than they should have.

Come on now. In America, bigger is better! In no other country do trucks outsell cars. In no other country do they have the societal/ego/esteem/material issues the US suffers from. Ah, fuck, I'll stop there. Daily I see roads crowded with pickups with empty beds and large SUVs occupied by only the driver. The pickup market is flooded by 6.5' beds and crew cabs. They're nothing more than people haulers and status symbols anymore.

that kinda sucks....my 99' 5.4L gets 14.2mpg towing my loaded boat and 15.6 highway with about 160,000 miles on it. The ecoboost is crap unless you aren't towing something & you are simply worried about fuel economy.

Check out the finished rims and tires......great job KYLE!!!

As long as their input impedance is the same and they are split evenly it should be that way. Whatever the difference is easily adjusted with the gain knob anyways

Did more testing today. 146.8db off the little saz-1000d. Only 12" long. 150.1 with the saz-2000d. 151.1 with the saz-3000d. I wonder what they'll do on the saz-3500d?
