And louder eek

The truck I had with a 6V53 and twin turbos was a lot of fun to drive, and very useful, but sure was loud, and fuel economy was nothing special.
I think I'll like my 4-53T, but on occasion I'll miss the HP that the 6V53T had.

Check out some pictures of a 6V53T in a 61 F350 http://community.webshots.com/user/Grigg3 and a poor video
