I am simply blown away by the power. One of them drives the HELL out of his. He bought it from a dealer that did a complete 4 inch lift oversize tires and wheels and installed a chip and this thing is unbelievable!

It's sad when the boat is more reliable than the tow vehicle. The Cig has been rock solid so far.

I've sold about 8 - 6.0's to my customers in the last 2 months. All have had bad idle quality problems related to ICP sensors. I don't beleive there is a true fix yet . I know when I picked up mine they had 16 program upgrades for the sensor and NON realy fixed it .....
One guys truck blows a huge cloud of smoke when started and runs REAL rough for a minute or two, then is OK.
Our's has a terrible idle and very little power off idle . WHen you get it wound up it is OK but no better then the 7.3's were power wise.
When they are right , they DO RUN !!
I've upgraded several now and even stock they are awesome !! CHip it and you better have your diaper on !
Best of luck to all of us ........
