after messing with the lnf {turbo cobalt} on e85, i can say, yes, there is a huge improvement on corn fuel.

you're also going to see a lot of them go boom when/if tuning is released for them. don't think a lot of people are ready for the dedication a tune requires in a di setup

You and I define "tuned" differently than the engineers at GM probably do, but they are claiming the new E92 will self adjust to most bolt-ons. Plus they locked the fuel tables.

Good news , that's cool , I'm all for extra mpg , as long as it doesn't sacrifice power , reliabilty and oil consumption.

I love the new interior especially the center jump seat for the bench truck owners. Looks to be a dramatic improvement.

Looking forward to the take off wheels... Those silvy wheels will look good on my 11

It took me a LOT longer to like the last remodel then it did with these. I don't like everything about them but I at least get where their head is at. The front end is an improvement but the rest of it is pretty blah.

Did quite a bit of research on them already, there's a long list of things they have improved on these, like the looks or not this is going to be alot more truck to say the least!
