I'd think 700 to the crank should be no issue with a 408 and 1900. But I have no exact power goal just want moooaaarrrrr.

if they can make 600 at the wheels with a 1900 on a 6.0, you can make 700 in a 408 lol

Yeah I just don't plan to have a "***** to the wall" cam or care about numbers. The only difference between 500whp and 700whp on the street is the wheel speed of the burnout.

unless you have the suspension dialed and sticky tires of course but I don't plan on that.

I know I know crank HP is like measuring your pecker from behind your *****. Also I've been hooked on Richard Holdners videos lately.

Traction is nice if you have the drive train for it. A 10bolt on 33s with 500-700hp and traction is a recipe for disaster. Another 9.5 may happen this year. (Starting the Tahoe swap Monday.)

2.10 60' and an ET of 10.3 is what I ran in Sturgis when it was bolt ons and a BBP tune. Of course the NV3500 wouldn't let me into 3rd so I just held second at 62mph and redline through the trap.

Would you guys feel safe leaving in 4x4 with a 6.0/408 and blower? Even with the 33s and basically stock axles and drive shafts? I don't mean launching it with a 3k clutch dump but maybe slip the clutch and then lay into it. I've been to sissy.

I would be comfortable launching 4wd if you have beefed up tierods, but under no circumstance do I actually suggest driving on the street for any extended length while in 4wd. The major problem will be while turning. Straight lines: no issue

If you really wanted to do it, AWD conversion is the answer. I have a front diff AWD tube you could use and then you'd need a 149 with an adapter
