hot rod 6.4l

no joke. We don't even have any baseline info to go off of yet. The only semi-solid info any of us have is it's a 6.4L, its got twin turbos, and last I checked, they still haven't figured out if its an I6 or a V8! I'm not tryin to be a jerk, if thats how this reads, but come on. We gotta know what it does stock before we can even begin to determine what it can do tuned. And none of us will know until almighty FORD tells us.

It is going to be a v8 I stated that in another thread. Also if what I heard from my ford instructeris correct you are not going to want to modify these trucks because the uderhood temps are going to be at max stock once you modify anything they will increase and start wrecking stuff.

Mnf350 ..."uderhood temps are going to be at max stock" is not what I wanted to hear 
.... whenever something is built to "max" , there is no room for contingencies ... it was over 100 degrees in the hills of Southern NV last summer pulling a camper and my 6.0 , totally stock , was over-heating and I had to back her off ....

sorry, it was late and a couple of beers had been killed. either way the point still stands that if this new engine that ford is bringing out is already maxed out in terms of pwer and torque production then why are they even bringing it out other than to meet emmissions. not saying that i don't want one, ford is 20 times the truck a dodge could ever hope to be.

Get the Cummins my brother. Spread the holy message of the Cummins to the infidels. Let them know that the only true diesels have six cylinders in the divine inline configuration. To all those wishing to convert to the one true diesel we The Holy Brotherhood of the Cummins will be holding our annually get together soon. Please PM me for times, directions, and list of special events. As usually we will be sacrificing a virgin at midnight on the holy alter an ’89 Dodge truck hood on top of the holy Cummins engine. Replicas of the ceremonial piston rod sacrificial dagger can be bought at the concision stand with all proceeds going to spreading the word. Please remember to bring your red hood to conceal your identity as only a few will be available at the gate.
I’m sorry but I just can’t help myself. Why do people run around preaching about the Cummins as if were the end all be all of diesel engines.

Uuranium...not a problem...just figured I'd nip that one in the butt before it started spreading.
The 6.4LTT will NOT be maxed from the factory. Not by a long shot...you guys don't have to worry.

I totally love my stroke, but I can't knock a cummins. It's not the motor we have a problem with, it's the crap it's wraped in. One of my friends at work who has a 12v always makes me sick by saying "Should I get those injectors?" To which I reply if you don't your a FOOL!! A bad *** set of injectors for his cummins...$400. That pisses me off. And truth be known, I can't beat him now! That pisses me off too. But, I did have to put his truck on my gooseneck and haul him home last week.
