My 2004 6.0L is pretty doggy from a dead stop, but I think that's mostly due to the tall first gear in the 4L80E. Usually the power seems so-so until I hit about 3500RPM. From there to 4500 it's like a can of wake-up juice gets chugged and it pulls fantastic. I've never towed anything where I thought I was underpowered, but a little more grunt on the low end would be nice.
Every now and then I flirt with the idea of getting a custom tune and minimizing the torque management. I've never used EFI live or any other ODBII visualization package to see real-time performance. However, I have seen data others have acquired and the amount of spark retard the ECM applies at high throttle can be staggering. It just makes me wonder how much better the truck may perform while towing if the timing wasn't drawn back so far?
