Who are you, John Force?
I fully understand you may know what your talking about, but to say a person who is missing gears, unable to predict your car/truck and spinning all over does not have any business to be on the track..... IS JUST CRAZY......
I can agree that each person needs to be responsible and safe for all to enjoy but lighten up.
Unless you popped out the womb double clutching and slapping gears I think its time to lighten up...
We all start some where.

Not actually raced but ive spent a few summers as pit crew for a buddy that ran 8.60s in a 72.5 vega.. but i put my dually on the track to verify hp. Due to three different dynos being almost 90hp off.. live tuned at 492hp, went to 2 other dyno events and one was 408hp and the other was 403hp.. tap and et put me near 470hp...
He was answering the no it all that I answered above. The guy is getting on some people's nerves. Really not even worth arguing with.

You can measure HP either way. By mph or ET. HP=(mph÷234)^3 x weight or HP=Weight/(ET÷5.825)^3
This is how you measure hp from 1/4 times. Notice the second one has ET as a variable. When I was talking about a dyno being more accurate I obviously should have clarified NOT a chassis dyno. The individual running a chassis dyno can make your truck produce practically whatever HP you want. Thats the biggest variable there.
I was talking about an Eddy current engine dyno. IMO that is the most accurate. 746watts=1hp. Load the engine with as much resistance through basically an electric motor until it starts no bog. From the watt output will give you exact engine HP. The operator cannot change that like power correction factors on a chassis dyno.
Unless you can somehow hook your driveshaft directly to the chassis dyno. But then your still a bit at the mercy of who wrote the software I guess.

lol i have no clue? how many of us daily drive an 800hp 7.3 especially on a budget. if you had huge pockets and its so perfectly dialed in then yeah its a perfectly find to be DD and streetable. realisitic? not really, If its being sprayed to hell to make the 800 from 600 some odd hp then of course it is. Besides i think out of ALL the comments made in this thread i think you could have picked a better fight.

Wow is all I have to say after reading through this entire thread. And people wonder why the truly smart people don't contribute much on the forums any more. Also not everything that happens makes it on the dang forums for all y'all that think they are the holy grail. People build trucks without posting all over the damn internet about it. Imagine that!!
Fwiw I made 600+ on a 38r for less than 10k in everything. 3k more for a turbo (s468 ) I was deep into the 600s. But I'm sure I'm going to be told that I didn't do it or its not possible so why does it matter. Truck was trapping 103-104 @ 7700-7800lbs with the 38r. With the 468 was trapping 86-87 in the 1/8
Can 800 HP be made on a realistic budget? No not for long at least. But unless your paying somebody to build you a turn key motor your not going to have 25k in it more like 10-12k doing it yourself.

I just dropped my block crank and heads off to Carson and couldn't ask for a better guy. He was very professional and informative. As far as doing what the OP is trying to do I think he's more looking for a list of mods and what order to do them. This of course is only my opinion but when you do want to go fast in one of these trucks and first come on the forums it's a bit much. To the OP if I were you I'd start with the external stuff such as the fuel system and such and work your way to the engine. I am hoping to someday get to the 800hp mark as well but in this platform to do it on fuel alone is a lofty goal. At least that's the position I take on the subject.
Kmaikazi jr, Just buy my mint 02' CCSB 4x4 110k on body never dd garaged. full build 850hp just completed (dyno & break in time plus a little street & live tune time on motor) only 3k on BTS, list goes on & on with stuff just installed... Un butched looks semi stock total sleeper.. sale price 45K

Bill did a test like this last year and the numbers 566 and 603 with the billet 38r wheel. And there are zero track times to confirm it yet. 650 is alot farther off.

Has anyone ever put an 8 cylinder p-pump from a Mack truck on a 7.3.
A build with those components should easily be capable of supplying the fuel to make the power the OP is after.
Those pumps can be found for under 600 dollars, and the john Deer tractor "pencil" style injectors work well with them.
Just throwing out idea's............\
EDIT: I saw the sticky on this thread. I see there are quite a few very good looking designs.
Does anyone know the cost of the fuel system?
