kind of leaving out the $1k on turbos, the engine bearing/ring kit, the $1k MS3 box, and such. Neat truck nonetheless. Stock rear end in it?
Pretty amazing what a tuning session with some folks who know what things to try result in. 100hp by changing the gap down to .012.
None of that is expensive or a lot of work for 877hp at the rear wheels. What would it cost to get that out of a 426 hemi....
It's also not going to hold up beyond the dyno session, at least Hot Rod mag makes it clear when they build a dyno king with no durability. The trans and rear end are going to be in a world of hurt at that power level.

The LS holds up doing the same thing, so why wouldn't the hemi? And the truck is still together now with lots of street beatings on it, I'll post track vids as soon as they go up.

Hmm not sure about that tuner guy... 2.5 bar is 22 pounds of boost and its a MAP sensor, ABSOLUTE being the keyword, elevation has nothing to do with it. Other things can cause the boost to hit a wall, one of them being BOVs not adjusted correctly...

That truck is not the junkyard build it sounds like. He has a vid where he says whats in it.
It broke 2 pistons and windowed the block. I don't think it made 10 passes. When the pistons break below the rings I don't think it was the tune. There is an engine dyno vid that the same happened at 20psi. They have not gotten to the point the factory cylinder head cannot handle the boost. Its why the hellcat has better heads than the 6.4.
Its best to just put better rods and pistons at the start, its cheaper in the end. Less chance of crashing from running over oil at 140mph.
