What hp level do you drive at?
Just wondering what hp everyone is driving at on a daily basis. I don't want to know what hp you turn it up to at the light when a fellow diesel pulls up next to you, but where your at on your way to work. If you have not dynoed then just guess or tell what setting your on.

I ran 680rwhp for three years and for three sets of tires. Its always fun to beat on a diesel or sports car? I'm in between twins right now and need the truck again. New trucks are too, car like for me.

Usually leave it at 425 hp. on a daily basis. Adrenaline off.
Min smoke in summer, no egt problems when towing or hauling heavy, good mileage, and enough power to pass on 2 lane roads.
Of course, an extra 160-180 hp., from the Adrenaline, is only a finger tap away!

On my 04.5 I still have the stock intake, exhaust, fuel pump, well everything except a smarty jr on the 70 hp tow setting for the last couple of years. Drive about 400 km's per day when on shift. Carry quite a bit of weight in the back so there is no hot doggin in my truck that its only purpose is to make me money! 290,000 kms and still has the original stock clutch. Original injectors. Been a pretty decent truck all things considered.

I ran mine set-up on 3X3 and around the 500-550 rwhp area, with a smarty stack. Mine smoked that way, but she would run hard. If you took out the smarty, the smoke clouds where smaller. Some days you need to crank her up to get out of town fast.
Mine hardly smokes, though, must be my superior driving style.
