Default Realistic numbers with a whipple?

Im wanting to throw a whipple on my 6.2 truck and i want it to just scream. I'm thinking E85, LSA heads and so on. I am curious what kind of numbers are attainable, not really worried about spending money but want to keep it under $15k. I've been reading on here all weekend and I've learned a lot. What advice or other options do you guys suggest? Thanks for the help

Agreed

I would guesstimate about 600 on E85, you should make more power because it requires less air for complete combustion.

550-600 at the wheel on the truck. Future problem I see is the stock pump won't hold E-85 and those flat bottom tanks are not pump friendly for modding.

You can make a whole lotta hp, but the heavy assed truck drivetrain will eat into it big time. 800rwhp is doable with M6 and lite/car drivetrain. 650 to 700 might be more realistic dealing with truck stuff. That still makes for a stupid fast and fun truck.

underdrive the crap out of it and get the heads ported. That should get you to your 700 goal.
