Which engine is the most easily modified to get to 1000hp

crazyradjohnny · Mar 18, 2013

So I'm sure there are other 6.7 owners out there that are frustrated waiting for add-on's to transpire for their vehicle....And I understand good things come to those who wait. But I'm curious what everyone thinks. Which engine is the easiest/cost effective to get to 1000hp? I figured 6.4 but could be wrong?

6.4 no questions.

not to hijack, I dont know much about a cummins but are they really that much cheaper to get there?

there are more parts avail and more ppl selling parts for them. this drives the cost down on a lot of the product.
.....i am speaking strickly engine build-not the expense of building the rest of the driveline to handle the HP.

The 12V would be right. Up to a certian power level. Then they to get real spendy!
