I was asked on a previous post what Hp I expect to get from my truck! Well...HP numbers don't mean anything to me. I'm new to diesels but I know that Diesel HP numbers are different than Gasoline HP numbers.

What are some comparisons with HP...example:
(Feel free to add what you have and can do with it)

[important information to me]
### is what you can expect with Injectors, timing, exhaust, fuel plate
### is what you can expect with the above + average Turbo upgrade

[Fill in and add your own]
>250 will toast (Blank),
>### will toast Gasoline fuel injected V8 2wd trucks
>### will toast most Ford Power Strokes
>### will toast Ford Lighting
>### Will toast stock Mustang
(They are all Fords but I'm thinking of particular owners I would love to beat)
>### will toast Riceburners,
(Feel free to add your own)
Please be as realistic as possible b/c I will be basing my thoughts off of this and I know how some can stretch it like"My truck can....(fill in the blank)" (Toast a C6 vett, beat a crotch rocket, skip across a lake its so fast!)

After knowing those numbers I have one last question. I need to know what HP range can you shoot for and not loose efficiency (mainly mpg) a priority for me!

My priorities are ...
Fix steering and KDP first!
Gauges
then HP hopup, but I am always planning. It would be easier if I knew what is feasible
After I know what I am shooting for I will get a clutch with room to spare!

I look forward to ya'lls reply!

You dont ask for much do ya. I think just some minor upgrades to get you to 700hp should do the trick.

 

Point taken.
I guess I didn't make myself clear...I wasn't trying to accomplish those things...I just wanted to know what HP it took...That way I have a comparison of "real world" (if you can call it that) to real numbers.

I if I say I want 300hp....I don't know that may be large or may be small! and it may not do what I want it to.

I got friends with trucks...I don't know their numbers but I know what they can accomplish so if you tell me numbers compared to what they accomplish I can answer the question ....What HP do I want to get. My list was examples...I would like to know what ya'll can do with your HP numbers?

Thanks for replying and I hope this clears it up a little?

I'm looking for 650+. Mods will be TST COMP, Smarty, water/meth, mach 8's, 62/s400 twins, cam, ported head, nitrous. That oughta get me there.

 

LOL! While you're at it, we can throw it all on my truck before we put it on yours to make sure it works!!

 

If that's the case you can keep the stuff. I most definately don't want your disease.

 

With the mods I had when I dyno'd I could sit side by side with a new hemi truck in a 40-110 mph roll on. That won't happen again =P With my current mods I can break all four rears loose on dry pavement from a roll.

 

You can see my mods, and what I last ran at the drag strip. I feel like I can run high 14's now. My truck isnt what some would consider fast, but it will beat most things I come up against on the street. I figure im making 330hp/750tq or something close to that.

Call me a liar cause I didn't believe it but my current setup kept me a half car length in front of an LS1 SS Camaro until my clutch let loose in 4th. It really does come down to both drivers abilities too. Just wish I could get a clutch so I could dyno and run it at the track to have proof.
