Now wait just a cotton pik'in minute here. Is Mike L's truck stock or is it little bit pregnant? :rofl:

It is now officialy unstock. :happy2: I gained some bottom end grunt and some cool sound at the exhaust. Developed this weird whistle.:dontknow:
Cold air intake is not finished yet as it needs a part and some calibration. Check engine light is on because of intake and I gained no mid range or top end because of this. It will come soon.:D The oval tip is real nice and the exhaust is tucked up under the truck very well.
Too soon to dyno again until the air box is finished. Terry is shipping out the new torque converter. It took me a while before I decided what changes I wanted. The stock converter is way too loose for this truck.

I'm planning on it. I will put a fuel gauge on it to see what the pressure is. Planning on a couple of Laing pumps. I will do my best to get this to 400 hp but I will not remove any of the smog stuff.
Worse come to worse, I may have to spray the bitch.:eek::rofl:

Boost fooler.
Rail pressure fooler.

Fuel and air, that's all it takes.

An exhaust cutout for racing would be a nice touch, and doesn't "remove" anything but backpressure.

You'd still be "stock"...

I'm really glad you guys could make it out there.Sorry about the short notice though:angel: Did you have a chance to chat with Gale at all?

Thanks for the invite, lots of great stories and some good information, to bad the Bosch rep couldn't make it, I think he would have been berated the most with questions from the crowd. Once again nice event. :thumb:
