Am curious, what would my truck run if....

I had what I have in my signiture, but a built tranny and 500rwhp? Or what about 600rwhp?

I was wondering if I already have a pretty good setup for the track? That being a 2wd with skinnies on the front and 33x12.50's out back. I know this has to be the lightest truck you can get with a Cummins in it since it is a 2wd reg. cab with no power windows, locks, and no carpet.

Also curious if I would end up having an advantage over 4wd trucks overall. I know a 4wd can pull better 60 ft. but would the overall less weight of my truck pull harder at the end?

I appreciate any feedback. Getting money saved up for built tranny and a twin setup.
