Around 500hp.... if you do the 64/71/14 you might step it up to some 200hp Fireball's

You would probably be around 550hp or so depending on the shape of your VP44. The 64 will be fine with the 150's.

The Cummins is a very strong built motor. As long as you have the mods to support the HP #'s then you will be fine. Theres guys making 1000hp+ with the Cummins when properly built. There is a point at which you can make too much HP for a daily driver.

There are a few guys in the 1000hp range with stock bottom ends. Addressing issues with keeping headgaskets comes first. And if you stick with a VP44 you shouldn't be getting into bottom end damaging territory.

So do you think 500-550hp would be alittle to much for a daily driver Luke? And if so what would be the max hp I would be able to make and keep my truck as a daily driver.
