On the 6.4, You can make alot of HP & TQ, without having to upgrade the tranny, B U T you need to follow these three rules(1) M U S T drain the water out of the bottom fuel-filter EVERY MONTH(2) M U S T change your oil EVERY 5,000 miles(3)M U S T change your two fuel-filters every 15,000 miles. If you do these three things you'll be HAPPY with your 6.4

I agree on the 6.4. Just be sure to get rid of emission crap and get a good chip in it and you'll get good mileage along with the power. They haul some serious ***** and since you said you like to go fast(I do too), I think you'd like a 6.4.
