there is not a heui powerstroke near 1000hp and not a mech powerstroke at 1000 for 20k bucks. Im telling you from experience, 20k will not get you a 1000hp truck doesnt matter what brand you choose!

He told me there was no chip and I said why is your truck smokin. 07 cummins has a intake, exhaust and bulldog pup programmer. Same thing as the other guy, he said there is no chip or anything but intake and exhaust. I can't stand when people lie to me.


I WANT A 1,000RWHP+ OK
Call Zane at Wide Open Performance in Salt Lake City, he has the quickest powerstroke in the country at 10.84ish, tell him you have 20k to spend on the truck and ask him how many ponies you can get for that.

I have a newbie question related to this topic. I see some references to buying a 6.0 in this thread. I understand that from the factory the 6 had many improvements over the 7.3 which generated more power stock but if money is not an issue what makes the 6.0 better than the 7.3? Wouldn't more cubic inches be better in the long run if you are investing in all the right mods that have been mentioned above? So then my further question is if money is not an problem which is the best Powerstroke to start with the 7.3, 6.0 or 6.4?

This is all academic as I can't afford any of it but I am curious.

Thanks

You might want to start a different thread... But what would be your plans with the truck? Just towing? Drag racing?
