Looking at a 6.0 for sale in my area. But i was curious what is most hp you can say is reliable for a daily driver?
The add for the truck says its 700hp. Will copy/paste add, shed some light, tell me if this really is 700hp, and is this setup is reliable. Thank you.

250/150 are pretty large for the street, they will probably be pretty smokey. If you can learn to drive around low end smoke, it would be doable i would think. Maybe get a tune written that locks out overdrive with tow/haul, so you dont black out behind you when you get under the turbo some.

Or just go with a smaller nozzle. A 100% nozzle will be alot more street friendly and will still empty a 250cc Injector.

A 175/30 or 190/75 would be about as small as I would go.

Unless you are able to make a good trade for injectors I would just plan to put 75% nozzles in and call it a day.

Daily driver to me is something you can jump in, start, and drive it away...
Winter or summer.
So for me, anything over 500hp is not a daily driver for the winter...they get too finicky, and really...what's the sense of stressing all the driveline parts when you don't have to.

Running a low compression, high performance Diesel engine in the winter is just silly.
Anything below 10*C/50*F and my truck becomes a cold hearted b!tch to start...plugged in or not...she don't wanna run.

True.....but why stress all the engine and driveline components when you don't need to?

I have way cheaper vehicles to operate in the winter, or to take to the mall.....vehicles that I don't care about getting a door ding from an inconsiderate person, or shopping cart.

I myself got way too much into my truck to expose it to the winter salt, and drivers that have no clue what ice is.
