Very true Shiner.
The thing is, the big 3 now days use pretty much the same strategy. Same common rail, pretty much the same turbos, pretty much the same injectors, pretty much the same injection pressures..........everything is pretty much the same except for the name on the valve cover.

My buddy is putting out 525 HP to the rear wheels in his 2003 Cummins. He has compounded twins on it with an intake and a few other goodies. He gets 23 MPG average on the hwy solo.

Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on which side of the fence you're on, the manufactures can't play the game he is playing.
