An oil change is still 80 bucks and a IDI will not get out of its own way

Between that and diesel fuel price's, was enough to push me back to gas...I think it will become a trend

I have been in several WELL MAINTAINED IDIs and a 87 carbureted 3:08 geared 460(the lowest hp 460 EVER) will KILL a idi, even a turboed one

Mine is slow accelerating, but once I'm in 5th on the highway it has pretty good passing power.. certainly gets out of its own way.

Now.. towing 10klb, I have no idea.
