My 6.0 stock comes with 325 hp and 370 ft•lbf of torque. My added radix supercharger added 100 hp and 125 ft•lbf of torque putting it up to at least 425/495 and that is not including the cold air intake, headers, and full exhaust. That compares to the stock rear wheel 210 hp and 405 lb-ft of the ford 7.3. Just something to think about. Good luck with your search.

Yeah but compare the 20mpg the diesel will still get after being modded with the 10mpg that you are probably getting after all of those mods. Probably less than 10 if you are having any fun with it.

Thats the beauty with a diesel. You can bolt on 120hp and a shit load torque without really bolting anything on. Go back to stock whenever you want you fuel mileage back by pressing a button or turning a dial.
