what about for daily driving? REALISTICLY, what is a good range for a daily driver, and occasional tower? i truly plan on my trucks future including turbo, stage 1 injectors, and custom chip. my settlement from my wreck is expected to be $3,000+ so i have PLANS. with above mentioned, what can i expect to get RWHP with above stuff, and with the chip i could turn it down and expect to tow reasonable loads too, correct? i still wanna be able to shoot for 400,000 miles+. is this realistic? sorry to highjack

For the record I am dead serious about this! I know it will take copious amounts of money to do but I am fully prepared to spend it. I imagine I will fall short of 700hp but it is what I am shooting for.
I know of only one 7.3 truck that can do what you are asking

Its a kick in the pants to build bigger power and go slower!

What am I looking at for chassis work? Just boxing the frame?

For this kind of buikd do you guys suggest getting a different motor and building it outside the truck and just throwin it in after the work is done? Do you guys know what a stock rearend is good for?

Buy a motor and build it on the stand. Unless you have 15K and don't need your truck for 3 months you need another motor. Don't forget your trans either.

Really?!?!? 15HP? Just kidding, another name is in the works but all in due time, it needs a few more upgrades before I change it to something a little more fearsome. You gotta have some beef to actually back up the name you know. I wish Icould have kept my old motor... it woul'd have been perfect. All that was wrong with it was it had a bent rod and some valve damage but it got replaced through insurance so I didn't get to keep it. DAMN!
