Yah, lots of fuel and lots of boost.. Probably a twins setup......
I plan to use a large air/water intercooler. I'll run ice water for pulling, and have a good sized radiator for cooling the water when towing......
I do disagree on the tempermental part.... Lots of guys running 12v cummins with P pumps at the 500 hp mark.....
Ok, I'm set now... Just gonna leave the poor frame be! I'm gonna get the cab off this winter, clean the frame up and paint the whole thing with POR15 and then topcoat with their hardnose paints....... Also get my new axles and get the air ride built... Then I at least can roll the project around instead of having to drag it with a 100hp tractor!
