The truck runs and drives great on all the tunes but I dont drive on the street with the 702hp or the 768hp tunes because I cant get traction. on the 768 tune I can be going down the road at 60mph and go to WOT and the tires just go up in smoke. Its cool but scares the hell out of me everytime I do it. On the 525 tune I get 22mpg around town. I have never taken it on the highway to see what it would get.
Yep, I knew the tuning range was broad on these. Not too mant guys would frown @ 525hp & 911ft/lbs w/+20mpgs. Sure wish these swaps were easier....

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
