I really think it depends on what performance you prefer. I'm a gear head, and modify most every vehicle I've ever owned.
I have a 7.3 Ford tuned as high as the stock injectors will go. It's okay, but it doesn't compete with a newer truck, stock or tuned. I couldn't deal with a gas engine.
But I also have a 5.9 Dodge V8 in my Jeep Wrangler...
Agreed. Having owned a bunch of gas powered trucks, then a tuned 7.3 powerstroke, 2 5.9 Cummins that were tuned and now a tuned 6.7 Cummins....I would not own another gas rig. Will it do it? Sure. Will you love it? Nope. Even if your truck is stock your spoiled with power....tune it, think about the poster who mentioned a DW conversion and be happy.
