Its fun to try and get a civic going at a stop light then cover him in diesel soot and smoke him (no pun intended) when the light goes green.
Me and a couple shop buddies were going to write ford a thank you letter for keeping our paychecks rolling.

I'll agree that the new 6.0l trucks are a pile- the motors just plain suck, I worked at a ford dealer for a bit and these things had waaay too many problems. they tried to fix it for a few years, but they're scrapping the motor altogether now. for the '07 model year they're putting out a brand new 6.4l twin turbo motor. Should be pretty pimp.
for the record, my motor is the 7.3l- and I've got the early model block that came with forged rods instead of powdered metal rods. this means I should be able to make around 450whp and 850lb ft. of torque before I have to upgrade anything with the block. I'll keep you all informed when I get near that #
thanks for all the replies.
when I get done with this thing, it should give a lot of imports a run for their money- and still drive in the winter and take my motorcycle to the track....
