    Anybody living in this area seen this thing yet?

    If you do see it, please ask for a pic of the engine bay and post!
    I just hope this isn't just somebody who liked the badging enough to put it on their tundra...

    Just put a supercharger on your 5.7. You’d be much better off in the long run.

    840 HP vs. 550 HP. Sure it may not be as reliable, but if you're putting 840 HP into a truck do you think reliability is your main concern?

    The drive train can’t handle 840 HP. You’d have to replace everything. 550 HP is more than enough for me. If you really think you need 840, go for it. It’s your money.

    I'd hope the person doing this got the transmission and rear end from the Demon as well. And nobody needs 400 HP even, if all we used was stuff we needed we would be in bare bones regular cabs with 250 HP and no comforts, having stuff we like is why we have crew cabs and other creature comforts and our trucks get mods and become unique. The Demon truck is just another unique twist which is cool to see.

    You’re right, it is cool too see. I didn’t mean to hate on the idea, I just don’t see the point. If I had enough money to do this though, I’m sure I could find a better, more enjoyable way to waste it. Different strokes.

    Well, 840 hp must be intoxicating, but thats overkill for a mall crawler, 550 hp is still overkill but when you got the $$$ no F's are given.

    However, there's simply better options out there, even for those who give no F's :p

    Cummins swap woulda been better, it would take alot of front end support and frame support though

    Someone that must love the badges I'm guessing. Surely I could be wrong here, but considering it still has the front CVs, therefore the front diff, with a drop bracket lift...

    So I'm just guessing the 6.2L just dropped right in without the need to change any of that. Pretty impressive work. :monocle: :rolleyes:
