As some of you know, I recently bought an 01 Ford F250 7.3 powerstroke to pull my new ridiculously big trailer. I just put a custom tune, cold air intake, and MBRP 4" turbo back exhaust on the truck, and OMG! I was told it was going to be a night and day difference, but holy shit! I wasn't expecting that much of a gain. The truck feels like a rocketship now, I think I'm going to take it to the track this friday and see what it runs. I am definitely pleased with the results for just an exhaust, intake and a tune lol.

Saw that awhile back. I think the shock factor would be worth it alone.

"You know that's diesel you're putting in your car, right?"

"Yup"

"Car's don't run on diesel"

"This one does"

"..."

lol

Wound up leaving two black marks infront of a buddies house tonight. I was trying out the smoke tune, which was a little underwhelming, but it was worth it when I heard the tires spinning lol. Me likey ALOT!

Doesn't that wash out your cylinders?

The main problem with the smoke tunes is spiking the EGT's too high. I know guys who leave it on the smoke setting all the time can have problems melting pistons from the extreme temps the extra fuel cause. I've only tried it a couple of times, mainly just to see what it would do, and it was very underwhelming. I got a puff of smoke when I first mash the throttle and after that it cleared up. not too upset though, that one was a shits and giggles option. I have to play around with the other tunes, but for now it's staying on the street race tune because I wanna go fast!

it's slow cause it's a 6.5 and not the 6.6 duramax that we're all thinking off.
