Off Subject, But...............
My Dad bought a 2005 Chevrolet COLORADO Yesterday with the I-5 3500 Vortec motor in it. It is crew cab and that thing will immortally scream! I would almost bet it would outrun my PSD. We may just find out tonight,

have u drove the Vortec 496? That is one stout piece of machinery, thye have it teamed with the D-Max's tranny, I know the V=10 is probably very stout especially since the addition of the TORQSHIFT bolted to it I would say made a HUGE Difference and have a 2nd intake valve will help out with the torque factor......
