I made pretty much the exact same thread in the Ford VS Comp. forum about half hr before this post, then I scroll down the index, and I find this forum. Had no idea it was here, and split 7.3 forums, thats good.
Common rail, bored and stroked 6.0L block, new electronics, staged twin turbo, and around 400 hp, easily attainable 750 ft/lbs of torque. That's what I see.
What's this I here about 4 EGR's? Those things would be off as soon as it rolled into my driveway.

I speculate that with the new regs all these engines will have more cubes, more turbos but lower performance and mileage. The gas engines payed up a few ponies in 72. I suspect the diesels are gonna have to cough up their tithing.

"Independent Testing of International Truck and Engine Corporation Diesel-Electric Hybrid Utility Truck Affirms Promise of Hybrid Commercial Trucks
Business Case for Hybrid in Commercial Market Continues to Grow"
This is from the International web site.....
If they add hybrid to big trucks we should be seeing the hybrid systems in the ford PS soon.

There have been some huge numbers mentioned, like 400 HP and 700lbs of tourque for the 6.4. At what RPM is the tourque going to be at. With the six speed manual in the 05 the 570lbs of tourque are hard to use when pulling large loads because you can't keep the truck at 2200 rpms. When you change gears and the rpms drop back to 1500 it takes a while to get back to 2200.

oh, inside info says 400+ hp minimum......
BTW, one of the fastest STOCK vehicles I have ever drove was twin turbo'd. It was a 2005 Porsche Cayenne with the twins setup that had them upgraded from the factory to put out over 550hp in a AWD SUV now that was moving!
