What's it take to get 325hp, 600lb foot from a 98 12v?
Well, the subject speaks for itself- I don't think I will ever want to go over 325hp 600ft lb range- I just want to be stronger than any of the stock diesels made, and not much more.
What are the parts needed to accomplish this on a 98 12v?

My guess would be, fuel plate, bigger exhaust housing 14cm, injectors, tranny work, straight pipe, BHAF. You should be good to go with that. Pretty cheap for a nice HP gain. And of course, guages first.

Okay- slang stop again here- BHAF? The bigger exhaust housing- you talking about the turbo itself, like changing out half the turbo- or the pipe from the exhaust manifold to the turbo?

My guess is when you get to 325 HP your torque will be a good bit over 600. A spring kit- 3000, #10 plate, 215 injectors, 4" exhaust, and the pump feeding at 233 CC's, I'm at 308 HP and 750 lbs lbs torque. More than I ever need towing. 15,000 lbs most of the time. A very good power level, for an old man.

You have to do the KD fix.......and be prepared for a 5th gear nut fix, probably at somepoint.
Most of the vendors can supply it all.....choices, 3000gsk or 4000gsk.....(you get valve springs with 4000) so if you plan on a exhuast brake you will need em.
275's, 300's 370's.........talk to some vendors, find the one or ones you like and try em out.
Or look, hunt and wait for used stuff.

Simply find the hp / torque you want on this table:

BHAF- Big honkin air filter. It replaces the whole airbox with a giant filter. Do a search and you will find descriptions and part #s.
The exhaust housing is on the back side of the turbo (yes, the half) the rusty side. It will help control the higher EGTs encountered with adding more fuel.
Do a search on "KDP" (Killer dowl pin), and "5th gear nut". You will find loads of info on both. Nothing major, just fix them before they become major, especialy the KDP.
Getting 325hp is doable on the weekend as long as you have the parts needed when changing out the new parts. Most vendors can help you out with getting all the right pieces. Build the kit yourself. Just do some research on the tools needed and the procedures. www.dodgeram.org has good info.

Then bombing occurs after that LOL- I have made quite a few race cars, and I like to have a listed plan in place before even teh first purchase!

Look at any dyno #s done on the new 600s then you'll have the targeted hp/trq range you are wanting.
But hey if your getting a DTT (the expensive part) & gauges just go for a drivable 450+/1000 range that those DTTs have proven that they can handle.
