600 rwhp will be easy just using a slightly modified turbo. Granted my dually is an LLY, but it has 550 rwhp through the allison on 33's (dyno #'s). Intake, exhaust, lightly modified turbo, and good tuning.

Really looking forward to you completing this project. I'm considering swapping my 1000+ rwhp dmax setup into a 2wd regular cab.

Quite a few Diesel Camaros out there - like this one -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7FwbDqdEp4&NR=1&feature=fvwp - should be an interesting build. Remember that duramax weighs 900-1100lbs depending upon setup. You're adding a LOT of weigh to the front end.
