But what kind of modifications would it take to increase the F-250's top speed by over 60%?

According to Ford:

The 2011 Ford F-250 is mostly stock, with changes to the high-pressure fuel pump, fuel injectors and turbochargers for more fuel flow. The compression ratio was also modified.

The body work seems completely stock, save for the shaved side view mirrors and aerodynamic wheels. I can’t imagine how terrifying amazing it must be to achieve that kind of speed in a 6-seater pickup truck, but hats off to Hajek Motorsports for their outstanding achievement.

That's not a stock chin spoiler is it?

What allows you to go fast, may also allow you to save gas by being more aerodynamic, right?

I wonder if they would get the same PR exposure if they went for high MPG, and not MPH?

That truck looks lowered on top of it all.
