Crower vs Carillo Rods

last two budget built 1000hp trucks i seen were trents and matts truck. one is still running, other we all have not heard or seen from in quite some time.
personally id like to see how long a "budget" built 1000hp truck would last now with some of the new stuff that has come out since trent and matt did theirs
All i would do is:
rods
fingers pistons
new rings, bearings and all the machine work needed
head studs
stock heads with upgraded valve springs, stock crank and cam (threaded cups for a LB7 though)
100+ over injectors
big twin or triple kit.
dual fuelers (dont have to be modded)
one of marks water pumps and go have fun. how long it last then comes down to the driver and his right foot

Funny how no one mentions the full billet $10,000 Allison required to stand up to this 1000hp motor...
Whoops.
Hopefully I'll never have to test the strength of them.
Why does everyone think you need more than one turbo and all these fancy parts to make 1000? It can be done with 100s, an s475, stock heads, stock cam, dual pumps and a healthy shot of n2o.

:roflmao:
This is a "budget" build? Still looks like 20G to me
Who's budget we talkin bout:hug: bill gates?
Yeah. Mine is rated for 850"ish" and it was budget built at the tune of 6,500

Lol i dont like NO2 jsut cause you have to refill it all the time, so i usually dont even concider it but valid point!
Well if we are talkin bill gates budget.........
rating a trans is dumb IMHO, there are so many out laying factors that it really does no good. you could break a 10,000 dollar trans in a heart beat, ask nasty girl
This is what I would like to shoot for in the future. I am just wanting to rebuild by short block for now. The motor may eventually make its way into one of three cars in the picture if it doesn't get swapped back into the truck.
Thank You!:thumb:

Lol..

Yeah, I know, just throwing it out there. The guy that built my trans just said he wouldn't run anything over that on it, 800 would more than likely be fine as a daily, but I limped it the other day being stupid, got a 777 code. Good thing I opted for billet internals, but anything can happen at anytime, especially when you use the amount of common sense I do:roflmao:
:hug:
If I can,t sell my toys I will put it together and see how fast it will go till it blows. Block is not a budget, but the rest will be. Single turbo lots of fuel and NOS!
I just remember there was a time when people said you couldn't build a motor (not motor accessorys) for less than 10k.
My thing change as we gain knowledge

What I'm saying is "GOOD LUCK"
If you're on any kind of a budget what so ever, this hobby is not for you.
My wife and I do VERY well and even then, I keep things relating to the Dmax in check so that I can have a nice home, fund my kids college, take vacations etc.
I love the trucks and love the sport, but I'm being realistic.
Building a 1000hp truck is going to cost you MINIMUM $50,000 and that's IF you can turn all your own wrenches and do all your own work.
After that expect it to cost you at least $15,000/yr to maintain and repair it.
That's reality. It's not a budget game. If you don't have at least $15,000 in liquid cash or a line of credit, forget it. It's not for you.
Both Crower and Carillo have failed. Not sure which has the most. That kind of stuff doesn't make the internet.
For the record, I'm not trying to sound like a dick, just let it be known to the OP that you need deep pockets to play in this game...
I like the Howards
Howards rods to the front! The pin oilers make the choice easy. I have run the same rods since 2008. I have installed all the others in motors and they work fine. I have also had to replace pin bushings in a set that only had less than 15 runs on them. Owen the dragster looks good. Get that thing running! You don't need all that fancy stuff to run fast in that thing. I just run 8.16 with no nitrous on a single cast 80 turbo! That was with a 1800 pulse tune!

I will agree you pay to play and it is a lot more with a diesel. If really just want to go fast go buy one of these. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/240-...ce_Cars_Not_Street_Legal_&hash=item27d2853901

Wow you really have a big one.
Thanks for whipping it out. Say hi to the Wifey
For you I will rename to "Jew Build"
Don't take offense and get your feelings hurt. Everyone here is just being honest with you. Which would be better.... For everyone here to get your hopes up saying the build is possible with 15k only for you to be annoyed, irritated, and frustrated when you realize it isn't in fact possible OR for us to be honest with you and help you see the whole picture up front from those who have ALREADY BEEN THROUGH IT?????
It truly is a fact that diesel performance isn't cheap. I can attest to this personally as I have between 15-20k in my truck in parts alone and am running low 12s @ 600+ horsepower. My motor is about to pop any day and I will be looking at AT LEAST 10k to get running again.
