Is that the average in 2.6? You should go a little more wild than that! Even though powerstrokes aren't know to be a wild animal like a 12 valve cummins.

Only 3 Powerstroke that run around here and most of them are in the 450 range. I want to hit the 550, plus its not really about the HP its about the TQ. Lol and yeah easy to say it when its not your money there spending lol.

2.6 can get more expensive i think compared to a 2.8 or 3.0 trucks because you can throw basically whatever you want on them and be legal. There some trucks around here in 2.6 I know have over 80 grand in them. And 3.0 trucks with half the money and alot more power.

Yea but as much as I hate to say it but a 7.3 would not compete well in 3.0.

I beg to differ there Jesse, there is a 7.3 around here running in the 3.0 class and he usually takes 1st or Second.

That's great. Nobody ever does that. I try to ask for advice on mine and there's one person That's willing enough to help out people don't realize the more info they give out the better the sport will be.

Around here most all diesel are the same oddly enough, then again there all Cummins it seems. Theres a Dmax that does really good, and a PSD that does just as good. Its usually a throw up between 2 cummin's a PSD and the DMAX
