I've probably put 60-70 miles on it so far. Feels pretty mean on 13psi 
Maybe 50hp less than the 4.8 on 20psi, but a lot more fun to drive with so much more low end. Its breaking loose over 60mph again, which the 4.8 never did

Well, no videos! Andy was there, should have snagged his gopro. I never know which way to face it anyway!
I ran Tucson's fastest cobra again to see how the 6.0 on 15psi would fare against him. The car is whipple-swapped on 16psi, dynoed 622rwhp and runs 11.6 at 130. Ran 3 times, all from 30-130, first two times I got worked pretty hard. First run he pulled me by 2 or 3 cars and I just figured the power wasn't there. Ran again immediately after (same results, 2-3 cars behind him) and felt the rear end go sideways about 80mph....wheelspin! And the tires didn't make a peep, these firestones are silent when they spin...had no idea it was happening until it felt like the rear tires were on ice. I'm not used to the tire-killing power yet, still had it in 2wd lol. And here's what my log looks like, notice the crazy speedometer
Asked him to run one more time, and pulled him by about 1.5 cars. No wheelspin with all 4 turning!
4WD is awesome, I just have to get used to using it ALL the time now. Very pleased with the truck, though I will turn the **** up a little more eventually, but need to focus on getting better injector data now and figure out why my wideband is reading weird. Hopefully next update will have videos!
