Default Diesel guy craving gas

Ive got a 91 Dodge diesel, pretty heavily modified, and a 05 Duramax thats bone stock. My buddy has a 05 Chevrolet gasser and hanging with this crew is giving me the itch for gas truck performance. Oh and Im from Stephenville TX, west of DFW.

Gasser's are nice. With half the boost level a gas engine of the same size will make more hp and torque. Yes, torque also. Hard to get the fuel milage though.

I noticed my gas didn't run as good at 25:1 AFR, you speak the truth. Light loads the gas will do pretty good, just don't hook a trailer to it.
