Is that the same PPE that engineers the chips/tuners for the duramax's. Any idea when they might go into production.

Question: Did you use the 6LY3-ETP (480HP) motors in your new boat, and did you modify them at all? Was not sure if/how well they could be tweaked in a marine application vs. what you can do in a truck. |

The 5.9L Cummins weighs less than a gasoline big block and they make STUPID power for comparatively little money spent. $5000 extra will get you at least 800hp and 1600ft lbs torque. The Weismann #6 Diesel Drive is rated to handle that much power.
