Wow... 850WHP... Are you sure you know how much 850WHP is...? I mean you're talking about taking a nearly OEM Street Truck and turning it into a Pro-Stock..... That is no easy feat my friend. So you're looking at like $50,000 minimum, and seriously frequent engine rebuilds...
My Serious Advice:
Sell your truck and purchase a Cummins Turbo Diesel... then you'll be able to get somewhere remotely close to those numbers.... But it will still require at least $10,000 - $15,000 in additional parts on top of the purchase of the truck.
Good Luck!

850hp, out of a gasser, and still be a tow rig? Ain't happening.
Get a diesel, that's cake for a diesel. Get an 06/07 5.9, build the trans, and a nice EFILive tune will put you at 500hp at the wheels. Work your way up from there.

Bite the bullet, buy a diesel spend some extra $$$ and you will get to 450-500hp and a ridiculous 600+ ft-lbs of torque, which is what matters for a towing rig.
Trust me you will NEVER regret the decision.

I know how much 850 horses to the wheel is. Driven a buddies car a couple years ago that had 1000rwhp. That was an adrenaline rush! He took me drifting in it after I drove it and that thing is scary fast. The only bad thing now is I want a stupid crazy fast car lol

well these aren't "Cars" these are trucks bud.
Your goals will make your current truck nearly useless on the street... If you can afford the financing, sell your truck for w/e you can get, and go buy a used diesel and finance w/e you can't put down in cash.
Your goals are much more achievable with a Cummins TD than they are with a 5.7L Hemi...
Once I pay my Hemi off I'll prolly look into a Cummins TD myself.
