7.3L Power Stroke Engine - 900HP 1,500LB-FT 7.3L Ford Power

TorqueFord guys are a loyal bunch. One of the more common questions we receive here at Diesel Power is: "I want my Ford to make 800-1,000 hp and I don't want to put a Cummins in it. How do I do that?" For an answer, we called upon Ryan Bean, owner of Bean's Diesel Performance out of Woodbury, Tennessee. The Caterpillar-yellow engine you see here made 712 horsepower at the rear wheels, which is about 900 hp and 1,500 lb-ft at the flywheel.

IMO I couldn't give a rat's azz what the flywheel HP is since that number doesn't get you up the mountain/down the track any faster or more reliably--only power to the ground (efficiencies of the tranny and drivetrain aside) does that.
