Too early to know much, me thinks. Engine is a proven design, so I don't expect any reliability issues. Read an article that said a guy drove some 628 miles on a single tank, going 80-85mph on the interstate, and still had 20 miles worth of fuel left when he got there...? JS

Now for the surprise, it's a 3 liter engine (182 cubic inches). I wonder what kind of manifold pressure they run with that.
R.
I'm guessing it would be in the mid 20's for PSI at least to get the HP they are out of it, it's well over 1HP per cu in

I guess my true interest would lie in the towing capacity in terms of it handling a loaded 24' car trailer.
From what I've read that's not gonna happen stock and doesn't have the CGVW to do it. What's gonna be interesting is what the Nissan guys are doing with their Cummins V-8.
