What is your friend saying about the cummins? Give us some numbers and we can tell you yes or no.

blake2500

just saying theres no way that a stock block can handle numbers near 1000hp and over 1200ftlbs

Sixxer

I'm sure that's possible.

DO you mean stock internals and everything?

the highest numbers from guys who actually say what they are getting are in the 1100-1250 hp range 2000+lb-ft tq. These guys do use stock internals.....they will hold unlike the maxipad and powerjoke.

Here is a list of a couple of guys that have hit over 1,000 H.P with their Dodge CTD Pickup Trucks: I have listed either their diesel website names or real names if I know them:

1.) W1icked 1, Miami, Florida-------------1,194.82 H.P.
Video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=-P3L6aDe20w
(Dodge CTD CR)

2.) Richard (Reb Brown), Las Vegas, Nevada TDR TRally-------1,200 H.P.
(03' Dodge CTD CR)

3.) Chris Werner, Las Vegas Nevada, TDR Rally (May 07')------1,200 H.P.
(2001 Dodge CTD)

These are some of the highest numbers I have seen with the Dodge Diesel Pickups. There are many, many more that are between 750-1,000 H.P. too.
I consider myself to be a "bottom feeder" at my 800 H.P. level, but here is an another link to my video dyno run for you:

Have your friends look at these videos/numbers to see what they think.

If you are a bottom-feeder, I hate to think what I am

well, some are import guys are are amazed by 30psi boost and it all got started arguing about plumbing and turbo boots not being able to take like 60psi or something. then escalated...

what kinds of boost are these big guys running and what kinds of piping connections do they use?

my first arguement went to bd's twins website where their picture of the twins motor has rubber hoses and clamps...

PourinDiesel

Big boys being mod class trucks are running 90-200psi (After 150 it starts getting pretty dangerous from what I hear).

have them watch this... http://videos.thefourwheelerpage.com...7c0000ede6.htm

Better yet have them watch this:

Pourin Diesel is right, boost on these trucks can range from 75-200psi. My 96'
is wastegated at 75lbs. but can hit 100 if I block off the wastegate. The Dodge Sled Pulling Pickups regularly hit 120lbs of boost and are also wastegated.

The diesel "plumbing" as you worded it, consists of mostly galvanized steel type pipe, with a thickness of around 60-80 thousandths. The connectors or hoses placed between the steel pipes, is generally of a rubber or silicone type rubber composition. There are "aftermarket" hoses available and I do use them on my truck becuase the stock "rubber type" hoses tend to "blow-up" or enlarge substantially under high boost conditions and will eventually rip or tear. Additionally, the high boost DHRA/NHRDA Drag Trucks and the DHRA/PPL type sled pulling trucks run, the owners and drivers will add a "bracket" or "plate" by welding to each end of the adjoining steel pipes to help "hold" the connections together under high boost conditions. Also, in many cases, two (2) clamps are used at each end instead of just one.

You can tell the "import guys" that thirty (30) pounds of boost is NOTHING anymore! The new 2007 Dodge CTD CR trucks with the 6.7 Cummins Engine will easily hit that. Heck,.....my 2006 Dodge CTD CR with the itty-bitty Holset HY-35/9 Turbo could hit about 32lbs. of boost right off the showroom floor!
