if just one of those turbos goes, there goes any possible fuel savings you might have gotten.

but yes you're right this is GM's entry level V8. supposedly around a $700 option over the V6. great deal.

I own a 2012 fx4 eco boost there low ned torque is ridiculous for stock, on the dyno it put down 338 rwhp and 429 rwtq. It's tuned now just waiting to dyno it again.
