realistically makin 800hp non - nitrous 7.3
 

Now I know without nitrous this is almost impossible without doing a P-pump conversion or a CR (if beans or hypermax have put into production yet). But i was wondering if theres another way with the HPOP. Say money insnt an issue (it is but this isnt going to be an over night build ether) now it is a daily driver also and id like to keep it that way as well. Any thoughts? or is 500- 600 the limit. Now i know i dont need 800 hp but its just what i would like to see it happen

If Money is an issue, I wouldn't even think 800hp...

man im not a stroker guy but you almost NEVER hear of a 800 HP powerstroke and it would be about impossible to keep an engine that is so on the edge road worthy, it would be a quirky S.O.B to drive. if money doesnt matter build what you want but in all practicallity your wasting good money on a poor project. my .02

There are a few out there... The problem is the HEUI Fuel injection system that the 7.3 uses...

Turbo 2332 why would it be quirky? There's plenty of cummins guys thay drive 1000hp rigs as DD's. I know money is the factor like it is in any circumstances but say it wasnt can the heui and Hpop pump handle it or is a p pump or cr modification the only way? I love my 444 but really am looking into a 12 valve just because of its easy horse power capabilities but as a last resort to finding a way to keep it i posted here

If money wasnt an option and you had an unlimited budget, you cant close but it will be hard. You would need to do extensive block and head work to make sure everything stays together. Casserdy can make you custom injectors for whatever you want and the gen3 pump from swamps willl be more than enough to supply those injectors, and tuning is as simple as getting ahold of dp tuners. If I had the money thats what i would do

99xlstroker- what do you mean by extensive head work? I know studs and fire-ringed head but do you mean more things than that? balanced and so on? I mean i hate beating a dead horse and all but what makes the 5.9l so much more reliable than the 7.3l? I've read articles and spoken to guys with a stock bottom end pushin 700hp -800hp with no gridle. what makes our block so much weaker? (if it is weaker) :humm: is all this feasible for $10,00 obviously not including tranny or turbos? but just the fueling aspect?

quirky meaning tricky to drive. an engine cant be built for everything. so decide what you want. if you want all out power bar none then all but mark off driving it on the road. power will be on or off at these numbers so all of your drive line will suffer. power wont come on where it needs to come on for a street aplication. in my honest opinion 500 HP is about as far as you SHOULD go if you drive your truck on the road often. it will be managable, CRUSH most everything stop light to stop light and still be resonably reliable.

as far as the head work. monster valves and porting, compression ratio will most likely have to be fiddled with to accomadate the extreme amout of boost you would be pushing as well. the rods on the 5.9L are monsters and can handle way more power then a fords.

Thanks for all insight guys come Christmas hopefully ill have the money for what i still cant decide to do :tttt:

figure out what you want the truck to do. then figure out if you need a play truck and a DD truck!!! LOL lets us know if you have any other questions good luck
