    Statistics are all made up anyway. The reason Ford and Chevy are 1&2 is because they wear out faster and you have to buy a new one constantly:poke:

    So who can tell me what the best broadhead is? I'm in the market and I want to know what the best broadhead in the world is. I have done zero research and have an untuned bow so I'm looking at the best, cheapest, best flying, easy to tune broadhead. Anyone have any advice?

    I upgraded to the new Enhanced Harmonic Stabilizer - two on each side of the frame. Works like a charm. You'd swear you're riding in a Bentley.

    As for the tune/warranty issue - I had the entire front end of my 3.5 rebuilt around 58,000 miles due to a timing chain issue/repair bulletin that Ford put out. Nobody ever asked or said a word about the CAI or the tune on the truck. They replaced the timing chains, tensioners, and a bunch of other stuff on the front of the motor all under the factory warranty.

    24K on the 2.7 with about 20K of it on the 93 octane tune. Not a single hiccup to speak of.

    If you haven't read Dr. Ed Ashby's report I'm not sure we can be friends. :tu:

    As a Tundra owner, I'm glad I just turn the key and get 381/401 out of a naturally aspirated engine. :)

    A stock 3.5 is getting 375/470 with a ton of room for improvement and better MPG.

    I once met a true bowhunting legend who goes by the handle of "MasterHunter." He used to grace us with his presence here. Anyways, he showed me a picture of one his broadheads. He supposedly once got a passthrough on over 300 cape buffalo with a single shot. So now I only use what the pros use!

    I remember blocking that guy awhile back. Times like these I wonder what BS he'd fill us with. Him and Innovative Outdoorsman. :tu:

    That's not naturally aspirated :)

    I don't plan on having to rebuild my front end at 58k, either. Come on, man. Be more like Decroo.

    My last 5.3L Silverado had an almost complete engine rebuild at 70K.

    I wasn't implying his rebuild was due to the Turbo...it was just a jab at Ford...and in your case a GM product...also not surprising. :) All in good fun, of course...you said this place is dead, so we're going to liven it up for you.

    I didn't know what truck you were talking about that needed rebuilt. I was just throwing it out there about my 5.3L.

    If you want to liven this place up, get Tiggie, Master Hunter and BuckeyeJay on the line...

    I know it's not as fun, but in all seriousness, I do think most brands of trucks all have good points and bad points. It's all personal taste.

    Now, continue with the more fun brand bashing.
