These engines generally make about double the torque that they do HP. So 300 HP is equal to about 600 ft/lb of torque, 400= 800, etc. That's due to the formula used to calculate HP and the fact that peak power in these engines is generally achieved at around 2500-3000 RPM. When you make your peak When you make your peak power in that range that's just the way the numbers generally work out.
These guys won't steer you wrong on the path of modifications (your wallet will hate them, though). I think you'd be really surprised at how a 300 HP truck runs when it's set up right. It's more power than you think. It's basically half again as much power as you're likely making now. That's a big improvement, and with a setup like that you'll have a truck that can be a reliable and dependable driver and work truck. It's probably best summed up as someone here has quoted in their signature line: "You can have fast, reliable, or cheap. Pick two."

" lastly, black smoke is unburnt fuel, and bad for everyone. the "coal rollers" have brought so much attention to diesel trucks that there is now a bill before the federal government that if passed will make black smoke from the exhaust a $5,000 fine" <!-- / message --> <!-- sig --> __________________
+1... Personally I like being able to drive my truck anywhere and everywhere.. I don't need some suit passing a bill that'll put me under the spotlight... There's a bunch of real good guys on here that will point you in the right direction with affective mods. Don't count on anyone to support "rolling coal" however..

I can see what you're saying. Here's the problem. Because of all the jerks out there over the years that have done stupid displays of blowing smoke in town, on people, etc, etc, it has created a hatred among many non-diesel owners towards us. What we are trying to do as a group is educate folks, especially young people, about the consequences of becoming one of those "coal rollers". It makes all of us look bad, and we have to face the consequences because of it. There are countless videos of these idiots posting their stupidity on the internet thinking it's funny, only to realize these videos are providing the politicians the evidence they need to come down hard on all of us. Why do you think it's so difficult and expensive to do a delete on the late model diesel trucks? Doesn't matter what brand, Ford, Dodge, GM. And the number one reason people still do it is for the increase in mileage, and the elimination of the one thing that causes problems on the newer trucks. Tractor/truck pulls and drag racing events are fine for that kind of stuff. But on the street, no. As a group we would like to police ourselves without the government doing it, but we are fighting a losing battle. It only takes a couple idiots to make us all look bad. That's what we are trying to eliminate.

Good luck with that edge.they are known to kill our pcm's so be weary of that.
If you want power you need to decide on a budjet. The sky is the limit on these but they are cash hungry.
You are prob making under 200 HP at the tires . that 300+ will never happen with stock injectors,turbo,hpop,fuel pump. Ask me how I know.
