Week Day Workhorse Weekend Warrior

The 6.4 powerstroke diesel engine available in the 2008 to 2010 Ford is one of the most reliable vehicles with aftermarket upgrades. Many people love the 6.4 because they are so easy to get power out of the factory set up. All that is required to make 545rwhp and 800lb-ft of tourque is a hot tune from just about any diesel performance shop nation wide, EGR delete kit, exhaust, and a cold air intake brings massive power to the rear wheels for a fairly low cost compared to older diesels or different motors.

The 5R110 transmission that comes from the factory bolted behind the 6.4 powerstroke is reliable up to 600 horsepower. You could run the factory tranny with more power if you drive it decently but who the hell wants to drive something with that much power like a grandma? For anybody that reads this and isnt a powerstroke fan i am not saying that the cummins or duramax is worse they are just more expensive to get that much power out of.

    I like the ide of how chep the hourse power is, but i dont realy think cummins is that more highly priced i could go out and buy a chip for abou 150.00 dolars and still have as much house as house or more than a powerstork. dont get me wrong i like powerstroks to but i dont think the prices very that much between the tow.

      A chip that will give your vehicle 500 to 600 HP is going to be a lot more expensive than 150 dollars. I am saying that the 6.4 doesnt require injectors,turbos, transmission, head studs,rear end, or any expensive upgrades until your in the 550 to 650 harsepower range. And i cant say it is a truly better motor because different people prefer the different style of tourque transfer in the cummins or duramax.

    I would drive the crap out of a 6.4 and want one in my front yard. They came stock made to tune up into a beastly animal.

    Other than having fun, is that much power useful for things like hauling stuff? i.e. is there a practical reason for doing all that?
