We get one of these weekly it seems. People wanna build for 700, find out 400 will do em fine. People wanna build 600, can barely afford a chip and gauges. Shoot, I could go on.

 

[TyCorr]

Yea. A couple a week.

This thread wasn't about making 600 hp. It was about how much is needed for a fun truck, whatever magic number that might be. it was answered well enough for what I wanted to know. Thanks Bruce and a few others for the info I requested.

Yellow, its all good, we got your thread--just ease into it. Do upgrades when parts break and have fun. 400 is a pretty good number for a fun, trouble free setup and does not break the bank. If you want more, you'll spend more but know that if this is a DD truck, you will likely have/create issues that cause reliability problems.

Yeah, nobody expects a 7.3 truck to be quick, everybody is aware of what 6.4's can do. A quick dinosaur powered ride has a cool factor to it no doubt.

:rockon:

An honest 500hp to the rear wheels 7.3 is a beast on the street and it'll do everything you ask of it with a trailer behind it there is a lot of versatility with the ole 7.3
