Someone on the 2020 revealed thread just said numbers will be released tomorrow at 6am on both engines. Not sure if it's true or not.

Hmm pretty much what I expected. Steady state efficiency at work here. This engine will perform great behind a 10 speed.

I was very seriously considering an upgrade to the F450 with the new 7.3L and 10-speed transmission. This kills that dream, as I adamantly don't want a diesel in the Arctic. Ah well. At least the wife is happy I won't be upgrading!
