The 6.0l is what, 345hp stock? How did that not impress you? His tune will wake the 6.0l up even more but if you're still not impressed, I'll take it off your hands.

Can you really run a 6.0 on a 4.8L tune? I'm sure that's part of the problem

DOH!!!! If that's the case then it won't be night and day, it'd be more like earth compared to mecury of difference.

I'm gonna laugh if you're running like a 234/238 with a stock converter and tuning and wonder why you have no bottom end

I think he's talking about the ol' 300 horsepower turd of a 6.0 that came out of like the 1999 up to 2002.

And I'll agree with him on that. That particular 6.0 sucks. So, I can see where this guy is unimpressed with that.

I will say that when Allen tunes your PCM, you WILL notice a distinct diffrence that you'll be much happy with.
