That aint no joke. I'm a hair under 64,000 miles, and my oasis report will make a grown man cry.
Thanks Chad
If you want 1200hp, start by selling your 6.0 because it aint happening. Mind you there are a couple that are close to that, but they are competition only vehicles and they sure aint getting 22mpg. You'd be hard pressed to find a stocker to do that...
Also was 1200hp and 1000ft/lbs some kind of typo? That's like gas job numbers. 1200hp better come with 2000ft/lbs or more.... and a 6.0 with numbers like that doesn't exist and if it did, you could buy a big house for the same amount it would cost to build that motor alone.

Great minds do think alike. Most drivers of diesel trucks fear the day that the EPA says "NO MORE" because they pollute with large black clouds of soot.
Black smsoke is just unburnt fuel that will kill your turbo in a VERY short time. Call Eric at Innovative Diesel and discuss what you are looking for in terms of power and they can get you started. You will also need gauges to monitor engine and trans etc.
And it's "Mr. Douchebag"

I'm looking to get 1200hp and at least 1000 FT LB of torque. I'm 21 and just got into diesels last year and bought my first one this past November. I also want to get at least 22mpg on the highway, as I make lots of long trips. I would like to see a good amount of black smoke when I accelerate, but I don't want to kill people around me with the fumes. Lol. Like I said, I'm new, so I want to learn from those who are more experienced than I am. I'm not cocky and and I now know not to mention black smoke like I did before, and I apologize, but I have no respect for rude people, especially when we all share a passion, and I'm just trying to be the best I can. I thank the people who were curteous and helped me out, and I look forward to learning from you.

Junk, with some junk mixed in... Great big pile of junk is what I think of those...
SCT tuner, SCT3 would be the best right now, with tunes from one of the known 6.0 tuners...
There is only 2 6.0's that I know of that are over 1000hp... Both are not DD trucks, and 80%-90% of the stuff on them is one off...
Lets start with how much you want to spend...

I think 600hp is about as far as i'd wanna go with a daily driven 6.0, and you're looking at some pretty serious mods to get it reliable at that level on fuel only, the transmissions on these trucks are wonderful, arguably the best out there, but for reliability's sake i'd get head studs asap, egr delete, sct with custom tunes, exhaust, intake, and maybe some injectors then i think you'll be at a high power level and maybe a transmission that is beefed up just for safety's sake

Don't be hatin on me because I'm not using SCT, it was a choice that I am happy with.
