Is the H&S tunes a smokey hot mess?
I had a mm on my 08' cummins like four years ago and hated it. Sure it pulled like a sob, but egt's, smoke, and my rail popping off ever so often was enough to sell it fast.
I like smooth linear power that doesn't make me look like an oraler at every intersection or hill i come too.

No a small puff and than a light haze if you really get after it. EGT's are low in these 6.7's.

Lol..badass, thanks!
Now how does the exhaust brake work on these in comparison to the Dodge? I dont tow a lot, i like to use mine in heavy traffic swapping lanes and stuff. When i do tow I absolutely love it, especially in the tow haul mode.

Don't notice it a lot. Haven't towed much with mine though.

I had a dodge, bought an '11 ford and honestly I couldn't be happier. Rides good, quiet, runs great (especially with a tune). 16.5-19mpg (on paper) depending on what I'm doing. Buddy was never a ford fan and always drank the Chebby kool-aid. Drove mine a few times and bought one too. I can usually find something I don't like about most things. I have yet to find something I don't like about this truck. Well other than the weight. Don't think for a second it's a good idea to drive off road if it is even slightly wet. Been on the end of a chain more than once.

I'm not real brand loyal with cars/pickups. So I'm not just a ford cheerleader, my dodge was a cummins wrapped in a turd and I knew that when I bought it new.

Ford does not have an exhaust brake...
 
Thanks a lot fellers..
I'll be looking for a Platinum or fully loaded Lariat here in a month or so.
I have been seeing lots of new 13 and 14's still. Maybe i can find me a killer deal on one thats been on a lot for over a year. Seems Ford does that a lot.

Fords seem to be all over the place in price.
I'm seeing "like new" (less than 10k miles for 50k ish in the 13/14 year range and im also seeing new 14's from $67 to $59k

That's why I got an '11. Had way better rebates than the '12's beside it.

Who is putting down an honest 550 tune-only? I'm not talking ego stroking dynos like the guys reporting 600+ on tune-only 6.4's.

i came from a common rail 5.9 to this and its totally different and...

Im not sure what H&S users are running. But the tuning I'm running on my 6.7 which are custom tunes from Rudy's on an SCT, have been tested on a near identical truck have made 520-530hp runs with a delete, their tuning, and intake.

I watched guys at II's dyno day this last month run over 500rwhp with an H&S and a delete. I know that my truck isn't a 550+ truck. But it does feel over 500 to the wheels in comparison to my common rail 5.9 that was pretty well built and ran numerous 13.5 second passes with a manual trans.

Have you run the 6.7 at the track yet? I'd be curious to see what it traps compared to its weight. The delete would add about 20-30rwhp. Say maybe 10rwhp for the intake? So another 50ish rwhp with custom tuning vs the H&S box tune could be possible I suppose.

.
 
I'm still waiting to see more than one mention of 520-530dyno runs... and 520 is a pretty far cry from 550 IMO

and again... is that just one guy on a generous dyno?

I've seen guys posting up that their 6.4 did 600+ on canned H&S tunes, CAI, and exhaust... real world is more like 560-580

I haven't ran it at the track. I was planning on running it on the dyno at Industrial Injection but the SCT didn't arrive in time for the dyno day. I'm curious to see how it runs also.

Rudy's is claiming i'll see 20-40hp more than the H&S canned tuning and gave it a 200hp claim instead of the 150 from H&S. I'm much happier with it as it's smoother tuning and does definitely provide more power. The turbo would clear the smoke at full boost in my H&S, and this tuning I still have a steady haze at full boost.

I really need to get it on a dyno and also to the track to see if the claims are true.
 
500 hp is about the limit with the stock 6.7 pump....

Where has it been tested that 500hp is the limit of the stock pump? I keep hearing that but then see trucks dyno over 500 with a stock pump. Just like the rods need to be upgraded at 550-600. II has a 6.7 with compounds that runs stock rods and is supposedly around 600+ horsepower.
