So of the 1. 2 million Powerstrokes made 24,000 of them have crapped out - that doesn't seem to be much to be proud of.

It's starting to sound like the old Horsepower wars in the late 60's.



And this is bad , WHY



Cummon' Dodge, it's time to up the ante. Oo.

Yeap,

Yeap, and it will have five computers to try to over ride to get anymore out of them. They will be maxed out for awhile I bet. No worry for any bomber to get 560 and 325 ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

AS long as they aren't sacrificing reliability, long life, real world economy and POWER, it's a good thing...



Somehow, *I* have a feeling that engines designed by the EPA are NOT likely to deliver all that - hope I'm wrong...

Ain't it sweet?

Ain't it sweet that we with our old 12 valve I-6s are capable of more horses and torque than all the new V-8s? And can do it so much cheaper, easier, and simpiler? It is soooo sweeeet... ... ... ... .
