Remove the 35's, and about 15K of engine work and you'll be there. Head studs, billet rods, main girdle, valve springs and pushrods, big oil, b code injectors, very large turbo, or two turbos, built transmission and a host of other parts should get you close to the 600hp you'd need to get into the low 13's on a lifted truck. It doesnt take "too much" to get into the 13.9x's, but it takes several thousand more to get one more second.

damn, well you think i could hit low 14s to high 13s with all the stuff i added without pulling the motor?? im never going to run the truck at a track im morely looking for a roll truck just to mess with ppl on the street evey now and then, my chip is on the fly and i always drive around with it on tow program and rarley turn it on extreme, im just looking to be able to mess around with a chipped out cummins or d-max from a roll when i turn the chip on extreme and maybe some nx and methanol so the motor doesnt get beat too badly

Nope, you'll barely get into the 14's before you blow the engine. The 2001s 02s and 03s all have Powdered metal rods and they dont withstand much over or near 400hp. Which means stage one injectors and Big Oil is pushing it. I'm plagued with those as well and the only way for me to get into the low 13's is to get rid of them. Better take a look at Blackwidowdiesel.com and call Kevin on monday, tell him Kris from MD sent ya.

Nope, you need rods, headstuds, valvesprings, maybe you could get away without a girdle, but if it were my engine and already taken apart, I'd go ahead with one.

Sorry, modding these trucks isn't cheap. If you want cheap power, get a 12v Cummins. That's rediculously cheap compared to our engines.

The only way to beat a chiped cummins is to get a cummins with a bigger chip. Or do as they say above.

Get an Audi S4 and put a couple of bigger turbos, a chip and gut the cats.
Three intake valves, two exhaust, variable valve timing on a 2.7 V6 Quattro will be hard to beat.
They make so much power that the transmission body is made of cast iron.

That seems to go with Ford in general
Back in my racing days I ran Ford and Mopar,and when I complained about parts cost my buddies alway told me if you want to go fast cheap build a Chev and even once considered putting a 454 in a truck but this would look funny

Here is an example of what you can do without tearing the motor apart-how long it will last with PMR's is a guess-but timing was limited. This truck dynoed 437 HP and 1k torque and is still alive today. Not a huge lift, but 35s.
