The limit is always being pushed, just like with any other generation ctd. I think the present high water mark is 627hp at the wheels. I want to say that's #2 only, but can't be certain.

If you look at my public profile and then go to my pic's you can see a couple of my dyno sheets. The 639.7 was on diesel only and the 680.2 was diesel and water/meth. They were both done with a KTA 14mm head/rotor. That was at the First gen dyno day up at PDR in 2005.

Not sure if they have a class for people who haven't pushed their truck hard enough to break. That would be like having a show-n-shine for people who didn't have time to wash their truck.

What are you trying to imply Bill? I dynoed not to long ago and I am still over 620hp. I drive it every weekend pulling my trailer.

I would ask how much you have, but I already know. I made more than you with a 12mm pump. I like how you posted in another thread congratulating someone to the 400hp club. At least he did his with a 12mm pump. I have to give him credit. You on the other hand well I think you know how much credit I am going to give you. You always have to jump in and stir the pot don’t you?

I've got the fuel for 600, just need another turbo. Hopefully this winter I'll have the twins built.
