Haha lets just say i beat a local guy who drives a 2003 chevy silverado with a 8.1 stuffed in it and pro charged. Idk how he did it lol. I am in the middle 12's with the 310. I cant ever get it right with the 350. I cant get the boost launch down with that tune. I guess i am just more nervous with that tune because my egt's r stabbing me in the neck. Stock turbos need to come out! haha. And yeah pictures are going to be up soon.
Cant say nothing bad about that 6.4 !

6.4l=

210? I run the 210 winter only. 250 is where its at. Id like to get the 300 and 310 later this spring. The Spartan 310 or Erics XRace are one of the fastest track times on a stock truck. I am just a crappy driver I am sure I could do better than 13.6
Yeah 250 lol. I spaced I guess.

I've been reading lots of good things about Eric's 6.4 tunes lately. I'd like to get some of his tunes for mine someday.

nice job on the stack zack! I didnt even know you did it hah. I'm still up in the air about my exhaust plans,but Its between a 6" mitered single stack, or a 4-5" standard exit. depends on what i'll be using my bed for and if it will get in the way and **** me off at all. I also like bed covers so might have to get creative and make a way for it to pop through clean and safe.

Never Knew you got yourself an SD Andy. I have seen a couple with a stack coming up through the tonneau cover. If you want i can try to find some pictures. I loved my old 7.3 with 4" duals.

im not much for dual stacks. i like singles the best.

this sounds awesome IMO, but most dont like the look. worst part is i didnt make it tall enough and it turns the cab solid black. enough that you cant see out the rear window.

i also like that fact that i dont have a huge pipe behind the tire.

go 5" on the pipe andy then do a 6" stack.

Yeah pics would be sweet. I guess I'm envisioning a metal collar with some hitemp rubber around it sure it pops through the canvas. Or I'll get creative with a toolbox,since I couldn't really use one.

Yeah Zack that's what I was thinkn. And I've seen people use 48" tips and it goes through the bed and mounts real low so it looks super clean and ends right before the roof.

And yeah that's why I have a black truck, can't see the soot heh,also a fan of huge pipes to bang up or catch on **** behind the tire. Have a lot of drone in the cab while towing? Or not too bad

The drone isn't bad but it never has been with the 6.4. Your 7.3 won't compare to mine. It will be at the dunes so you can ride around with me and let me know what u think. The whole truck isn't loud compared to a 7.3.

The black soot stain doesn't bother me only when it rains. Looks bad.

Yeah new gens purr compared to 7.3s but once mine is warm its really not too bad. After exhaust and intake etc. it should mask the chatter with a nice deep exhaust note

There is no comparison between a 6.4 and 7.3.

The 6.4 should be compared to a gasser F250 sound wise

My 6.0 isn't half as loud as my old 7.3l. Just hear the turbo whistle alot more.

btw my old truck had MBRP duals out the back not stacks if thats what it sounded like.

Very true, I wouldn't be complaining either. Especially if I was coming from crappy Indiana
