Message: [QUOTE="John Buck, post: 1512892, member: 30422"] Anyone here know of anyone reaching 1000hp in an OBS 7.3? Swamps has that 900hp performance package for about $16,999 and heard to get that last 100hp a progressive two stage controller in the higher rpms with nitrous or something along those lines. Have seen other 2000+ year 7.3s reaching it and found this url: [url]http://www.trucktrend.com/cool-trucks/1007dp-1000-hp-73-power-stroke/[/url] Impressive to be sure let alone listening to the ramp up, What would be the estimated total cost to go from a stock 1997 7.3 v8 crew cab long bed dually 4x4, to reach 1000hp with the 900hp swamps performance package and transmission and torque converter capable of handling and the rebuilding of the motor and cooling systems involved and along with everything else? Also would it be better or good or would it necessary to get the swamps 7.3 competition crate engine for this? Or cheaper or can simply be done without? I'm building my dream truck here, also just for laughs and whatnot what would be the estimated mpg for this 1000hp potential beast? And with a 1000hp capable 7.3 what is the best mpg you could possibly get if wanting to shell out the coin for the best mpg you can get and still be able to put out 1000hp, I don't care about the mpg of all things just simply curious that's all, I know this is all going to take me several years to complete I just want to make my dream truck before I die, already have a job I would be cool with making a career in and have another truck as my daily driver, and a house close to my work. So pretty much aside from rent, groceries, monthly boxing gym dues, occasional dirt bike maintenance, putting some money in savings, all my money is going to be poured into making this truck a reality. Any solid help, advice, and genuine input from the wealth of knowledge that some people actually are on here, i would greatly appreciate the info. Lastly would it be good to get the hypermax inline pump engine conversion on the swamps diesel competition crate engine and pair the swamps 900hp performance package with that? Or simply just get the 900hp swamps performance package and manage that way? [/QUOTE]
