That would be one INCREDIBLE truck, Dan, but with all that power, you'll
certainly need to do something in the tire and suspension department. Wouldn't
want to get sideways at 80+ MPH!
It looks like you've done your engine research, too. Good components, but they
won't come cheap. Though JE's are regarded as one of the best pistons made,
they'll cost a pretty penny. Forged is definitely the way to go when you're
under boost, though.
Good luck with your project.
