How to make 400 - 500 RWHP - 6.0L

[389sixpack]

This thread is for sponsors/vendors (or users) to post a list of their dyno/race proven combination of parts and tunes to reach a good reliable 400 - 500 rwhp - 6.0L build.

The intent is giving users insight of what they need to buy and do to reach their RWHP goals.

It is not open for arguments!

just a suggestion but maybe make it 400hp. there is a big gap in spending between 400-420ish (tuner, intake exhaust) and 450 which will usually at least take a set of injectors (155's) and a fuel system (along with studs etc) to make it safe. just IMO of course...

LOL Noted - I think folks can differentiate there post by saying with this setup I make 500, or 475, or 450, etc. Just want a repository of build lists and results as a reference for everybody.

400- any sct tune
450-recipe#1, sct custom tunes, ficm tune, fuel system upgrade.
450-#2,Sct custom tunes 155cc injectors,fuel system upgrade.
500-175cc injectors with fuel sytem and supporting mods.

i made 435 with just intake, exhaust, and custom SCT tune back in '06. All it would really take to reach the 450 mark would maybe be a tuned FICM. A tuned FICM will net 20-30hp. Or a little water injection will make it to the 450 mark also.

Yep I made 417 with intake, exhaust, and a race tune.

What are you guys running for HP on 155's and Powermax on a tow setting?

To make 500hp or over on a 07 6.0 what do you need to do besieds injections to the fuel system ?

175-190cc injectors, Airdog 2 or FASS 150 pump, Powermax turbo or 64/70 non vgt, custom tuned SCT. This will get you over 500hp.

To make it reliable you should delete the EGR, put a coolant filter on and put ARP or H-11 headstuds in.

aftermarket lift pump and regulated return would def be fuel system mods I would do. I'm actually installing a reg return tomorrow...

I dynoed last weekend and made 448hp 787torque. With TSD tunes, exhaust,intake, Sct, headstuds, egr delete, 6.4 banjo bolts and an 03 turbo!!

 

[strokin6L]

Them are awesome numbers with those mods...congrats.

 

[SouthFlstrokin']

looks like tsd has some of the best tunes for a 6.0...

Just got the Nov issue of Diesel Power. Are the power combo mods they list for certain hp lvls correct or is this just a basic guideline to go by? Just because it's in a mag doesn't necessarily mean it's accurate, right?

 

[Mwilbur516]

I just dynoed yesterday and got 451\999 on TSD tunes, S&B, MBRP turbo back straight pipe, EGR delete, ARP's, 6.4L banjo's, blue spring and a tuned FICM. Several runs and probably 50 people saw it.
