just a dumb question
 

what horse power can you get out of a VE without the 14mm head, been doing a lot of research, and found that the 14mm head isn't so street friendly.... looking for a good way to hit 450-500 ish HP with out it. and does any one really know what KTA has done to his truck?

according to diesel power you can get about 400hp with there list of parts without the 14mm head , I would imagine if you run a bigger turbo than what they have listed you could hit 450

500 can be reached with that pmp without a 14mm head but thats pushing it

I have heard of 587 rwhp with W/M on a 12 mm.It was a W250 with a 518 trans that ran 12's.That truck was in Diesel Power Mag also.

If you start delving into the esoteric, rarefied air of the first gen world, you'll realize that there are a lot of things that people haven't done that should be capable of getting lots of horsepower that people haven't gotten.
