I love my AR headers and that's why I took the TTRX kit off the table, I hate losing money already spent lol.
Yeah unfortunately I do not have that luxury or anywhere near the experience required. That's awesome though, I'd much rather give my own time than pay for labor.I do all of my own wrench turning, helps me afford the things I do. Mainly because I don’t trust anyone to fuck my truck up. If it’s going to be fucked up I want to be the one to do it, and I know how to fix the problem if I’m the one that created it.
Amen dude. I’m the same way. Unfortunately also around the house which means there’s always a honey do list.I do all of my own wrench turning, helps me afford the things I do.

I can say for me, we will push to 1000whp then cut it off and I will drive it and send oil for analysis to see what metal content looks like to determine if rods/bearings etc are experiencing heavier wear. If they are, rods and pistons would be next before trying anything else.
Seems like the HC motor wrist pins are the weak area which is likely partially due to an oiling shortage and would happen then on high temp long pulls. It’s something that might not show up in analysis until it happens on a hot pull.
I've read this before with HC's, seems shifting higher at 6700+ could have caused some of this over time. But yeah, time will tell with the TRX because of the added weight and the unknowns.
Here is a dyno sheet for my build to date. Hopefully this helps answer some questions for you.
How much are you looking to sell the AR headers for?

Thank you. Stock cam?
I’m guessing since you said just base tune that it has a very mild timing curve…looks like especially up top.

Looks like that blower still has a little left in it and pulling almost linear all the way to redline.
You're running the Whipple 3.0 with 1200CC Injectors, 180 Stat, and making 800+ on an E85 base tune? Hot damn, with how the Whipple sounds on these trucks it makes me want to get in line.
Are they full length headers or short?
I’m just guessing, but I bet you could get about 8-850 rwhp on 93, I know I have seen well over 1k for E85 with these set ups.
Some call the ARH full length, but they are actually a mid length with a flange to a collector elbow. Both pieces together are close to a full length. I have someone committed to buying them now. I will let you know if he doesn’t, but I think it’s a done deal.
Same height as the stock blower.
I made 760whp on the stock blower on 93 upper only, could have gotten closer to 800whp (tuner said the 2.75 would have been fine) but decided not to risk it, just went to E85 and 2.65 instead...the Whipple would definitely go over the 800whp mark but I do wonder about fueling...nothing worse than running lean. I also had the JMS installed just to be safe.
