I would say zanes dual turbo truck from wide open throttle that ran a 12 or something like that would be the highest HP

Zane from Wide open, Imelmo, bigrpwr, powerstroke racer (snow white) and some other are the heavy hitters but I don't know their numbers

Zane's twin turboed is probably close to 700 on fuel if not a little more. A friend of mine (sapps psd) has one that is 700+ on nitrous. My obs was 600 on fuel and was above 650 on spray. There's more, just cant think of them now. Lots of superduties 550+. Making big power with an obs is no different than with a superduty, all the hard parts are the same.

Its hard to say with the blocks. Most tend to break at 600+ rwhp. A main girdle seems to help them live longer by eliminating or reducing main walk.

Craig is running BDP custom b codes, bdp s400 turbo, stealth dual hpop, BTS trans, Wildman tuning, 2 stage nitrous and more i cant remember.

http://powerstrokenation.com/forums/...ead.php?t=1766

Do you think this is for real?

Any idea what the highest HP record is with the 7.3 with #2? on drugs?

yeah i read about that block, it sounds pretty sweet. Its a bit much for my pocket book. Hell with that block and a set of billet conecting rods you'd have 7-8k spent!

Im sure zane and david lott have the highest hp 7.3's right now. well had, david lotts blew up and he hasnt got it going again.
