Appreciation of new new Diesel power.
I’m not trying to make a statement or say that the newer trucks are better, but I had a pretty good comparison today. My 21’ Ragen TH is probably around 7k lbs empty and tows like a rock. With my ...

Claim or fact? You ever had it on a Dyno?
Claim.
Stock is 250hp/500ft lbs
Added Banks Stinger Plus system, (includes exhaust system with quick spool turbo housing, big head wastegate, tune chip, etc) Fact —- 80 hp 147 ft lbs according to Banks.
Then added Ford AIS high flow intake and blue fuel pressure spring (claim 10hp/20ft lbs) Riffraff billet impeller ( claim/fact 20hp/40ft lbs), PHP Hydra 16 position tune (claim/fact 140hp/280 ft lbs)
Just adding stock 250 + 140+20+10 since the Banks tune chip module removed
So yes it’s a claim and yes it’s fast. I do lift for the 1-2 shift as I want to keep the stock trans from exploding. I only tow with the 80 hp tow tune.
And of course that’s all at the crank.
I think you’re being very optimistic by adding several individual mods and think you will get the advertised increased power of each one for a unrealistic total output.
I’ve never heard of a stock Ford transmission holding up to 400/800. At least not for very long.
That's why I asked. I did the banks PowerPack on my 98 12V Cummins at the 100K mark. It did add power but NOT what they CLAIM. I did run the hell out of it as it was fun and toasted the trans. I was planning on doing a DDT built trans anyway. It was so cooked it barely made it up on the trailer to take in for the rebuild!
