Keith, knows what he's doing when it comes to tuning the 3.0 Thats for Sure and certain. H60, I support the additional HP drivability that honorable tuning provides....The MPG over time yields very little MPG and will not cover the Additional $$$ investment. The ZF-HP has proven to be robust and...
The new 2020 engine uses a different material for the crank, it uses lighter rods and pistons, and the displacement is changes by a small fraction. The issue with the bottoms ends was a combination of a few things. 1 - bad crank material/casting 2 - tuning that caused the engines to lug
GDE no longer does the type of tuning that you need done, but I do and a few other companies. I highly recommend you check out the forums for quality info and the youtube reviews for all of the companies, careful with facebook and other places of gossip.
