I never tried 1000HP, my engine has a big Cheetah turbo and a Fleece pump and injectors it can probably be coaxed to well over 700HP.

If you have not already done so go and look at my build thread...
I bought a wrecked truck, that gave me all the major components needed IE accelerator pedal, ECM/TCM/TTCM. wire harness etc.
