    Yea that's what I was thinking. I have heard great things from the 6.7 and I got 18.5 on my first tank of diesel the other day. So I'm happy about that.

    Cool man! Sounds big. Sad to see that Taco leave your hands. How is it like driving that thing around town?

    So it's about 2 mpg off?

    Does straight piping the exhaust and pulling all the baffles out of the air intake give you any extra ponies or mpg?

    Mixing friends and business is tricky. Especially when this friend thinks now that he wants to weld with me and my buisness partner he's automatically gonna get 1/3 of everything and we will split equally.

    It's a slippery slope I've seen it end a few friendships too. All because of $$$...

    Exactly. People who invest get a cut; everyone else is an employee and get paid hourly. I would be careful making your piece of the pie any smaller than it already is.
