i am asking if anybody has beat stock 6.0's running a stock injector set-up on our trucks, i would gurantee that stage 2's would destroy a stock 6.0 and if they didnt beat a chipped one then they would at least make him think twice about all the money he has invested in his truck

i would think a tw chip, stage 2's, sd pump, intercooler, shift kit, intake, exhaust, 4.10 truck, bigger turbo should beat one without too much trouble, probably wouldnt walk away from them but still be able to beat it

Thats probly about $4500-$5000 not including a built tranny. compared to the big bucks of a newwer 6.0l and you will have reliable power instead of race then in the shop for a few days. yup id rather do that than own a 6.0l. I think in the next couple of months a TW 6 pos and stage 2s and SD pump is going to find its way onto my truck. Maybe an intercooler too cant wait. On second thought maybe ill hold out on the injectors till i get a tranny. This PMS is really gettin to me.
