??? 650 hp

[El chupacabra]

Is it possible to have a 650 hp on a daily drivin truck that sees towing hauling and plowing without constantly breaking parts.any opinions

 

[davey99ps]

I'm pretty sure Shawn Ellerton's tow rig is around that area hp wise, he's running twins.

 

[Jhaddox]

Sorry Just saw this was 6.0 section

 

[El chupacabra]

Idk I just want my truck to.have the acceleration that my stang had and still haul my tools around not break parts when I throw it an asswhoopin and hopefully not.kill me on fuel

 

[El chupacabra]

Plus I really would like to rub a 650 hp dyno sheet in a couple big block fans faces

Get ready to shell out some serious cash to push a 6.0l to the 650rwhp mark and keep it reliable. You'll need a compound setup and some spray. There will be a sh*tload of supporting mods that need to be addressed. Good luck.

I was checkin one of the.diesel mag s.and they claim.it ain't that hard I kinda figured they were blowing smoke

Are many guys running twins seams like the big vgts are more popular . No chance of 600-650 hp out of a 68mm?

 

[imelmo]

I believe they said someone did dyno a little over 600 with a 68mm. Don't know what temps and stuff would be like towing though.

Like stated earlier, pretty sure Shawn's tow truck is in the 650ish range without too terribly much done to it. Stock longblock I believe but you'd have to double-check with him.

You won't be towing heavy with anything other than twins.
If your trying to get by with a big Vgt or a big non Vgt be ready for lag and high temps.

And $ is going to be upwards of 10k easy

If you do all the work your self, its fairly expensive, if your paying a shop, hope you have deep pockets

 

[Mwilbur516]

What made you decide on 650 hp? You'd probably be better off selling your 6.0l and going after a 6.4l. I love my truck, but I'd never shoot for 650rwhp and expect it to hold together as a DD and tow rig. You'd be looking at a built tranny on top of the engine work and that would run at least 3.5k. Why not shoot for say 550rwhp? 550rwhp would put you at around 630-650hp at the crank.

A 6.4 with a spartan or H&S will put out around 550-575 with only a few mods, and is fairly reliable.

for about 20k miles or soimp:

Think studs, compounds, injectors, full fuel system, transmission. You could be looking at about $10K to do it right, give a take a little and not counting labor.

I can get you what you need to do it though.

 

[Breaking Habits]

68m & 180's would make for a nice 575 hp street truck, not trying to discourage, but if you want a reliable 650hp truck, you might be in the wrong powerplant buddy!

all how you use the right foot buddy!

Whats the point if you cant use it?

Mustang like acceleration is achievable with a tuner. My truck will flat out run my wifes 06gt to 100mph. After that it is faster. Our old 03 wasn't near as fast. Now the new 5.0... They are faster though. Past the tuner and as said above... Deep pockets. It can be done, but not cheap. You could probably swap to a different engine at that power level as cheap as building the 6.0.
