Me thinks GM is going to have a hard time outpowering this new 6.7l with their current 6.6l using only tuning.(And still meeting emission requirements)

Putting the 6.7-liter Power StrokeŽ Back on Top with a Power Upgrade
This is a rather interesting story on The Ford Story website. To give you the teaser:
The Ford Story: Putting the 6.7-liter Power StrokeŽ Back on Top with a Power Upgrade

Current 2011 Ford F-Series Super Duty<sup>Ž</sup> diesel owners can get the increased performance through a free dealer-installed software upgrade to the trucks powertrain control module.

That was a VERY VERY clever marketing move by Ford. You knew Chevy was going to have the chance to outdo Fords numbers because it cam out so soon. Ford baited the hook and Chevy swallowed it whole. I can't wait to get my program update. I will have had my truck about 2 months by then so it should be a real good time to tell the difference. I've already towed my 5th wheel a couple times, now I'm looking forward to a Labor Day trip into the mountains.

I'm not all surprised that an update on the newer trucks takes 30 minutes. Matt was telling me that it takes a long time to upload a tune to the 6.4 trucks and I would imagine that there is even more to update with the 6.7.
