those bigger truck engines have major potential(SP) for power youve just got to uncork them. true duals are very easy on a truck since you dont have to worry about clearance, and there are so many places to tuck it up.

ive considered running a chip or programmer in mine but then i would have to use premium gas and i dont want to fill the 26gal. tank with premium.
