I love mine although my next one will be a 6.7 with a 5.9l crankshaft and a 12v head similar to what RonA is doing.
I have a 181/210 cam, a ported head with a zz intake, a 66/68-12 top charger and an s480with a 1.32 on the bottom. Both have race covers, and a 45mm turbosmart gate machined into the t3 manifold. Truck spools QUICK even with a pretty tight convertor. THe main problem as I see it is back tire costs. The truck is so much more responsive than any 5.9l I have driven.
I don't see many negatives, although if you find just a block you might try to save some money and use the 5.9l crank. It will slow down your piston speed and it will still provide you with more surface area for the pressure to act on.
Although some might disagree, if you can find some good 6.7 injectors, I would use them. They seem to be super clean for me and I don't see near the failures that I have seen with the 5.9l injectors, even with hopped up cp3's, doubles and pressure boxes.
Also, the larger bore will give you the option of running larger valves. I know of some 12v headed 6.7l's running almost a 2 inch valve!
Good luck.

Thanks Zach. I really hope I can do the 6.7 in the spring when I have some money. Until then, the basically stock 5.9 will have to do, with coated pistons, balanced, and hopefully your cam and springs...
That's what you told me. And it melted my ****ing motor. DO NOT run 6.7 injectors unless you have a standalone.
Yea man, your...um..."issue" we'll call it pretty much turned me off of 6.7 injectors. I'm not chancing it. You get it on the road yet?
