I'm waiting for diesel. Probably the only one too. With EFILive, 4" exhaust and a cold air intake guys are getting 21-26 mpg out of their Duramax. Cut the weight of the vehicle close to 1/2 of the truck and they might get 35-38mpg. Switch settings and see 600-1000hp on the rollers. Wonder what the 1/4 times would be? Mid to hi 9's? Not uncommon to get mid 11's from a extended cab short box. I guess I hope that biodiesel has a reasonable future. Maybe the 4.5L Dmax won't weigh so much but a 6.6L would plant the nose down a bit. Ok so I'm a goof.
