WOW, glad to see you again, how have yea been ;-)Looking good CK.
Had a trip to the Motor Shop, going over specs and built ;-)
It going to be interior balance and some Dyno Tuning ;-)
All new interior parts and new headers, High performace Carb, New Intake, wires, Dist and all the good stuff ;-)
We are hoping for near 475 to 500 HP and 550 to 575 Torque @ 2500 to 2800 RPM ;-)
OOOOOOOOOO Yea Baby Muncho Power ;-)

Thats some pretty good TQ, my 2008 F450 650 @ 2K, 350 @ 3K. I want the newer ones, 800 MAX. When ur pulling 22K biggest struggle is off the starting line & 6+% grades.We are hoping for near 475 to 500 HP and 550 to 575 Torque @ 2500 to 2800 RPM ;-)

Tell me how to get that out of our 900XPs next.
Compadre those numbers are sick.
It made me decided to check and see what a diesel can do.

This makes your numbers more impressive.

our little 7.3's aren't about the hp rating, its about to torque, with the banks kit i think I'm between 600-700 not exactly sure tho but. ya
DANG cisco thats going to be one monster baby can't wait to see what it can pull, I'm thinking moho+th+big rig all pulled by little yellow
But Papa Bear is correct....with gas prices soaring is about higher torque-to-RPM ratio's and fuel efficiency, more torque @ low RPM cost less in the long run....you can drop TQ on the curve by running smaller diameter tires too. A carb will never burn stoichoimentric like closed loop EFI not to mention dyno tuning, throttle response $ the way the power comes on, fault finding, etc. Diesel prices are not far from gas, whats impressive is keeping gas money in your wallet.
Hope you got a good tranny and drive train too Cisco. I put a chip in an ol Dodge diesel kept blowing my flex plate twice in a year, very expensive! I thought about pushing mine but dont want problems.
My .02.
