Seems like too much money, time and imaganation. Should have stared with an H1, or learned to drive like a sane person.

If he is not happy with a $30k turbocharged stroker engine, what makes anyone think he will be happy with the performance of a CTD? In reality, a stroked 6.0L SBC which is turbocharged and intercooled will be making rediculous power when set up properly and should be able to EASILY exceed 550 hp....really, if the engine is as you described, it should have a foundation for 700+hp if that level of power is truely desired.

It would be difficult to get a CTD to provide additional performance over top of an engine like that....and the CTD would certainly be nowhere near stock to accomplish this. The question needs to be asked.....what is the true intent of installing a CTD in a H2? Because it certainly should not be for the intent of increased performance over the existing engine.
