Default 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

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.
