ecoboosts are slow and hard on fuel.

So there's also weight savings to consider by using 93.

What truck do you have again? Why don't you enter your name and truck into the 13 second challenge with the op and my truck so you can send one of us slow ecoturds a tshirt that says that when you win.

A Duramax needs Dual Fuelers and a lift pump to support a PPE 300 tune otherwise its just a smoke show with no power. Ive owned a modded Dmax and and Ecoboost and i'll take my Dmax anyday. My Dmax was a cc/sb 4x4 with full exhaust,erg delete, lift pump and EFI Live tune. It ran 13.1@102 with the stock trans and convertor. I had the T4 tunes on my Eco and managed a 13.78 out of it. A lot of people have done better but I couldn't. Not saying the Tremor isn't a nice and quick little truck because it is just saying racing and beating an improperly modded Dmax just isn't a big win.

I don't know if you noticed this or not, but people on the truck boards are, well, weird.
Yes. Yes I did notice lol.

I've told him this as he is a good bud of mine. This truck has ran low 14s with just a shitty 125 quadzilla tune though. Also witnessed another LBZ run 13.4s with the same mods he has plus a shift kit but I digress. I don't consider any race a "big win". Just a friendly run.

I really don't see that truck even being able to use that 300hp tune fully. That tranny should of went into limp mode. And if it was setup right I see it smashing the tremor no problem from a roll or a dig if it ever used 4wd.

Heading to the track this Thursday. Like I said king kong is jumping up and down in my bed lol. 6.4 powerstrokes are awesome. Pretty much the 03-04 cobras of the diesel world. Soon as I'm tuned i've got a run set up with a bolt on/built trans 6.4.

Fastest ecoboost I've seen is this one. Guy before with a white one went 12.7. But he had a 50 shot on it. These guys claiming bolt ons meth and a 75 shot from what seen.

That's old. This is the new record. Think the only thing they added was some Batmowheels.
