If you are pushing that much fuel, running water injection and twins, you are going to have something that is borderline non-streetable. It will be difficult to keep that thing on the road... you will scare the you know what out of yourself with the power on the road, not to mention having to watch the EGTs. You will not be able to start off from a stop without covering the road, and it will consume a HUGE ammount of fuel. Thats just something to keep in mind.... If you want something for the track or for pulling, it would be awesome.

1000+ hp is possible for a competition only truck if your pockets are deep enough. How far are you willing to go? There are some 700 hp P-pumped street trucks around but over 700 hp is just not streetable by anyones standards.

Curt Haisley's "Off Constantly" is thoretically "streetable" though I havent seen it go very far from its trailer. That is how he runs it in the pro-street class. The stack out the hood makes it illegal, but it makes the exhaust piping much easier and reduces resistance through the exhaust. Depending on how lenient the law enforcement is around you, you may or may not be able to get away with the stack out the hood.

oh, no, in that case, 5-10 feet or so.... you like that idea dont you.... If you really want to know, call Curt Haisley and ask him... I'm sure he has found out the answer to that question...

If it were me, I'd be pushing LOTS of drugs. That way you can get more HP for a given level of streetability.
Let's face it, a Stoopid pump puts out enough fuel to where 90psi of boost won't clean up the haze.
I'd run some twins using a Super Phat Shaft 66 on top and an HT4C/HX82/T105 sized turbo on botto--something HUGE.
Then, to help spool things up, a MASSIVE shot of the funny gas. I'm talking more pills than Walgreens has. The gasser equivalent of a pro-fogger setup- 400-500hp shot. The nice thing about nitrous in a diesel is that it's almost impossible to overdo it. Best thing to do would be a progressive controller setup linked to some kind of MAP-- as boost came up, it would automatically dump in more nitrous.
You'd have to drop compression down to 12:1 or so, and of course you'd need the standard head/cam/port/o-ring job.
700hp isn't that hard with a 12V-- but it usually requires using about 1100hp worth of fuel. A clean, somewhat-efficient 700hp is quite the challenge indeed.
