With the right fuel plate, delivery valves, injectors and turbos, you can make such stupid power that new stock diesel pickups are a joke... everyone is oohing and aahhing over measly 400-something horsepower while you have 700. It’ll cost you to build a transmission to handle it and some other upgrades so you don’t just scatter parts all over the street. But it won’t be $75,000.
And - it’ll run, period. No trouble codes, no check engine light, no DEF, no sensors, none of that garbage.
The 97 Dodge 12v I had was "turned up" to 375 hp and had a Garret torque turbo on it along with a 3.5" exhaust and the rest of the goodies required for that performance...it was a beast!! The problem was that the Dodge part of the truck was falling apart and costing WAY to much to keep on the road. I would LOVE to 12v an old F450 with an NV5600 and a 2 speed rear axle. Say 425 hp or so of easy reliable power without the hassle. ;)
