Is it possible to build these trucks to 600RWHP and be able to do ultra heavy towing at these levels ?

I know of one guy who has made 540 HP on number 2 alone and pulls some pretty heavy trailers, but I THINK he turns the box down when towing. I run confirmed 310 HP and tow heavy at times, I am probably at 340-350 now but I don't know for sure. My Dad tows 17-20K behind his 12 valve at 350 HP. These numbers are no where near 600----but??

Someone here should chime in, I'm still in the "crib" when it come to HP!!
