From what I have been told, not a whole lot is available on the market for it yet either. However, 500hp on stock components isn't anything to sneeze at.

EDIT: like NMB2 mentioned, taking this to pms.

 

thanks and thanks

today the interior should be out, set off a few bug bombs in there yesterday to hopfully kill off the bees.....i hate bees

 

It's limited to that power because thats the limit of the HPFP. The same HPFP in the duramax.

Also power isn't everything, it also counts how effective it gets to the ground.

I honestly think a 600 hp 2wd idi truck would have a lot of trouble hanging around with a tuned 6.4, 6.7, or duramax.

 

I know, you've said this about 7 times so far. You have to give more more than 24hours to build this thing.

 

lol
ok

Its not that i doubt you, or want to see it fail, In fact i really think this will be an awesome project.

 

91dirty, so I know you are planning on a lot of weight savings, so is the interior going to totally be stripped out or are you going leave it pretty close to stock of the interior for comfort reasons? Could always add some race seats too. That would be pretty cool.

 

Interior will be stripped bare, rhino lined ( or other brand) then roll cage, bucket seats and dash.

 

I think they can pull it off even with a 2WD setup. An example I saw skimming youtube this morning: WOP 9.91@139.4 - YouTube

Seeing that, I think they will get it to hook it up if the weight is left in the right places.

 

i think you will be much more happy with Line-X... trust me on this one lol... Also ask Justin iirc he used to own a Line-X as well

Awesome project man! cant wait to see the results!

 

I liked watching you guys arguing on PS v. idi. . Funny stuff.

You ever consider oil sprayers on the valve covers? They help keep my heads cooler so thought I'd mention it.

Anyway, just wanted to say cool build man. Keep pushing those boundaries.

 

thanks coalroller and brant!

got most the interior out

 

Sounds good on the interior man. Also you made some nice headway this weekend. Keep it up!

 

you find a frame yet?

 

What compression are you going to run in this beast?

Is it going to be streetable, or a 15:1 ether start only racing beast?

 

luckily it doesn't get to cold around here, it will probably be in the 16-17+/- range depending on what the pistons will allow without becoming to thin. maybe around .100" off the top, if not a tad more. thats a pretty drastic change considering stock idi 7.3 is 21.5:1. here is NMB2's idi cold starting with 18:1cr

18:1 6.9IDI cold start - YouTube
