250/200 will not get you to 600 on fuel... With a larger HPO system you will get real close, but not 600.

And until you have driven a 550hp 8k truck, dont dismiss it... Keeping in mind that a vett with the same hp weighs in at about 3500k...

Its scary fast.

my buddy has a 2000 7.3 that dynos 547, you'd be amazed at how much 500 hp will make that truck move, 500 is not ANYTHING to be ashamed of, when you can walk all over a sports car, i'd say thats pretty damn good myself.
