Except they dont have alot of options for aftermarket intake's not like some other engines.. Only have like 1 option for the 318.. re-branded edlebrok one is the same price.. so not really anything there.. but different name on it.

Anything is gonna be faster with a turbo on it. My pap has a 07 f150 with the 5.4 in it and its a turd. Put 3k behind it and its horrible. As far as hemis go our 07 1500 isnt that impressive either. Im pretty sure my dakota could of spanked it no problem. Its got great bottom end but after about 60mph they dont climb too fast. My inline 6 with 6k on the back would kill a eco boost. 
Nope only a 5.9 those 6.7s have too much emissions crap for me. That would be a total of 8k heavier then the eco boost.

Oops sorry, still, 1.8L more, which is an entire 4 banger. There is no way its 8000 lbs heavier... An F-150 weighs right around 5000 lbs, you're telling me a 2500 weighs 13,000 lbs? You're out of your mind man.

Oh, my bad. I thought you were saying curb weight was 8000 more, I thought you were on something.
Maybe if I had a 5500 cab and chassis with a steel dump bed on it on a ton of dirt in it haha

Lol, yeah maybe then... How many miles does you Ram have? Any issues yet? A co-worker of mine had an 05 6.7 2500 and had a TON of problems. Not motor related, but electrical and front end issues. Sometimes it would go into 4wd on it's own....

I think I'mma take the beast out one day and see what she'll do against the Ford. He's got about 100-125HP on me.. but he's also got an extra what 3K of weight. I'm 4x4 and geared different.. for better lower end. I think i could hang with him lol
