What is needed for 500 HP powerstroke?

Ok... thanks. I thought it was in here somewhere. Yeah, I want it to be safe... and I've found that going higher than 400HP gets to be more expensive and more money than I care to spend. But like I said, it's gotta hold up... that's why I have the 7.3L. I would love than kinda power, don't get me wrong... it's just two much money for a College Student!
CSIPSD,
Where'd that turbo come from? What's it got the 38R doesn't? Is that why your truck always whistled so loud in your videos? Is it louder than the 38R?

stock, stock with ATS, stock with ATS and WW, stock with WW, stock with WW and ATS and a 1.00 housing, Stock with all that and a 1.15 housing, 38r, 38r with 1.15 housing, 38r with a .84 housing, TN JB, TN JB with a 1.00 housing, TN BB, TN BB with a 1.00 housing, TN BB with a 1.15 housing...
H2e is just the latest turbo. and the best by far.

No would you go with a large single turbo, which will lag a lot, or will you go with the procharger setup, or maybe compound.
Im going to be building a compound setup for my truck because I dont like to wait for boost, and the 38r seems to spool nicely. You basically get to keep everything you have now, only add way more air with the big turbo, or procharger.

Tuning can control the need for a girdle.
Wish I could say more but my hands are tied.
You can have a 700hp work truck, if your dumb enough to drive around towing 20k in a 700 tune, well you get what you get. 350hp is all anyone needs in a truck to pull anything legal for our trucks.
How much HP do you think OTR trucks have???
Good lord some of you guys have a- way to much money or b- like koolaid way too much...

You bring up a good point about all anyone really needs is 350/700 for towing. Saying my truck made 500 hp and I used it for towing is a bit misleading. I NEVER towed in the max hp setting. Realistically I was much lower then that, probably closer to the 350-400 mark, but never dyno'd the lower TOW settings. That only further strengthens the case for a girdle for a truck that gets heavy towing use, even at "only" 350-400. My motor was still running just fine when I pulled it apart and discovered the stress cracks which I have to believe were from prolonged high torque loads. The rods were fine and the pistons looked great meaning I was not running it too hot. Even the bearings were still in good shape.
