koolaid drinker...

Was looking on LET's website and a bone stock Eb with tune only dyno'd at 379hp 451tq..

Another Eb with DP's, I/C, intake, meth, fuel pump, E40 and LET tune dyno'd at 452HP 531TQ.

I think it may be time to put some parts on the ol Eb

as with any dyno numbers....look into and research them..imo

altitude, humidity, and temp can greatly influence the results

That's too extreme to me, but after doing some researching and reading all sorts of people putting tons of mileage on the 5w-30, I'm not worried.

If you do a little more research it will reveal that early 1997 mod motors were equipped with 5w30 and Ford changed it later on to the current 5w20

Yup, and it was retroactive back to 96 or 97 model years. I could leave or take the viscosity change for the crank....the best change was the transmission fluid. It was a night and day difference for trucks from 97 -.
