Most HP in a 5.9?

[Todd G]

Who has the most. I know HVAC and My6 are in the 600's. Many are in the 400's. A few are in the 500's. Lets hear from those who are out of control. What kind of HP does Dave Mitchells' truck produce? Give us some numbers!

I believe Joe Donnelly hit about 609HP on just No. 2 diesel.

The two times I've seen the famed"White Dodge" in action and talked to the Mitchell's about his power numbers all he did was give you the old street racer smile,,Now after seeing it pull a sled,one does not have to wonder where the smile comes from,,I do not think anyone ,other than those close to Dave ,knows the true power it has and as one of the big dogs in the yard why tell anyone,,Certainly there are some impressive trucks around,but,to get to be the Big dog in the yard you'll have to somewhere cross paths with the "White Dodge" and knock him off the perch,,Till then just ask him how much power he has,and when he gets that starry eyed,wanna play glazed look in his eyes,BEWARE!!!!

Mitchell turns 1000+HP and over 100lbs. of boost. However, Dave is not the only 1000+HP truck. The boys up there take their pulling seriously. They put on a good show.

Don't forget the Red Rocket!

Don't forget about Nowel [HVAC] and the Little Red Rocket. I believe he has hit 644HP, but that was using propane, nitrous and I believe twin turbos, but I could be mistaken on that part.

I have never gotten a straight answer from anyone when talking about Mitchell's truck. When I asked Doug from Enterprise, he was guessing 700-800 but he wasn't sure. Does anybody know how much the truck turns out???

Seen it, heard it, smelt it, tried to find garage door behind it. .





you got the ingredients and the result right---have no idea the specifix of the recipe



BTW, last i heard, Joe D. was past 620's --609 on #2 only produces a MONDO sootcloud---I think my lungs are still clogged!

I have to give Piers Harry a nomination, too. His former 12 valve (properly valved I will add) had some good numbers on the dyno and some impressive <em>demonstrations</em> on the street. That smoke cloud was a mix of tire rubber and diesel soot.

I heard Dave's somewhere in the 800's, with the smoke he puts out I wouldn't doubt it, I think it smokes more than even Joes

and turns somewhere in the 6000 rpm range, has a billit crank, has to change rocker springs every two passes, regularly breaks, and blows heads gaskets constantly. All of witch he can do. I don't even want those kinds of mantanece scheduals. I've lasted 10k without breakage, well one minor output shaft, but its been pushed hard. I ran a 12. 67@104. 66mph and wieghing in at 6300 true lbs. and placed 1st in one pull, then got disqualified, and 2 nd in another. I'd have to dyno again to see were I'm at but I'm guessing 650+. I have a bigger camplate than before, different lpg I think worth 80 hp and nos is jumped to prolly 115or so hp. so. I anycase mine is a driver and gets used every day with way over 144k that shows on the dash. I can not believe how much power these little motors do and can make. I bow to the guys that acctually make much more than I do.

Maybe I can change the question a little? How much HP is being made with the P pump vs How much is being made with the electric wizmo gizmo VP pump? I think this is an apples and oranges comparison. But anyway, I'm impressed from all of you who are pushing the horsepower limit. It only improves the breed for all of us.
