I would do so, I know where a wrecked truck is at. I was hoping to do it with a half-ton gas motor. I would definitely have bragging rights until someone else shows me up, but hey thats life.

350/500rw will be near impossible to make with a gas motor.
@ 350rwhp most NA gas motors will be making in the 380-410trq at the wheels (reasonable NA408)
To see 500rwtrq would require about 550rwhp or more. (stout 408 w/10+psi boost)

What's your truck putting down now in days?

Its about 250 hp and 350 ft pound according to the numbers i was given by a technician at dodge. I may be wrong. The only thing done to the motor was a custom air take system, autolite xp plugs, taylor mag wires, tune up to the rotor and cap, and a glasspack, which really doesn't do a thing except change the sound.

Good question, Im still finishing things up. I got carried away with paint/powdercoating last yr and still have a few more pieces to do before I start putting everything back together. (waiting on spring)

Software saysit should make about 370-380rwhp on the motor (490-500crank)
With 7psi intercooled it should make around 500-520rwhp (700-730crank) depending on how bad the belt slips With 12-14psi (have to gocogs) should be in the 670-720rwhp or about 860-920crank hp.
Software was within less than 1rwhp when buddy put down 401rwhp 2yrs ago with a similar combo (he had 2.5cr higher but less heads/lift) so above #s should be fairly close with any luck [8D]
