You’re forgetting flow on the exhaust stroke is a determined by back pressure in the exhaust manifold before the turbo. The exhaust port is not the limiting factor. Which is why comparing flow numbers between N/A and F/I heads isn’t conclusive.
I’m just not seeing why you’re so invested in a swap for a vehicle you don’t own. Gen 2 has been out for 8 years now; engine swaps are anything but common. Just because someone hacked a 7.3/10R140 into a Gen 2 doesn’t make it a good swap, in fact it’s the opposite in terms of weight, performance, and complexity.
Goosetuned is putting down 700+WHP on the stock engine with bolt ons.

RMB short blocks support 1000+HP:

Regardless, where is all this supposed demand for “850” or more horsepower? Tune only trucks are running 4 second 0-60 and 12’s in the quarter; you can only use so much power on the street.
Ok..does your truck have 1000HP? No…so how is that your bottom? Horsepower is rarely the limiting factor on an off road vehicle, 1000 is not even usable on a street vehicle. Adding 400lbs over the front axle of a Baja truck is detrimental to its entire purpose of going fast off road; adding horsepower does not make up for that.
See above. Aftermarket performance upgrades are everywhere, not sure what search engine you’re using…
It’s a one-off. No rational person would waste thousands of dollars hacking up their truck to swap in a heavier engine with less power. You can make more power than even the “megazilla” on a stock Gen 2 engine with bolt-ons and a tune.
