454 possible 400 hp?

Easily even

They were rated at 290 HP from the factory, at the flywheel. Call it 270 at the flywheel, so ~215 at the rear wheels. Would be expensive to get to 400 at the flywheel, and really hard to get it to 400 RWHP.

It shouldn't be hard to get 400 at the crank. 400 at the wheels is different, that will be expensive. Were talking cam, heads, intake, pistons, new tune if going efi

No more expensive than any other of the engines that came in these trucks

True story

If you want a fast vehicle, don't do a truck. They are heavy

But they make for great sleepers when they're done good and have a little weight reduction

 

[polar]

Yes they make great sleepers, which is what I'm doing. But it's still a truck and have sub par braking

alright I'll correct myself great straight line sleepers (unless they get lowered)
