That's exactly it, your elevation and weather conditions are killer. True dual 3" exhaust seems like a bit much for a stock 5.7 engine...you're probably giving up some low end grunt with that exhaust setup.

My old 22s were WAY lighter than my stock 20s and both had the same diameter of about 32". But those 22s were aluminum also. But these 24s I got now, those biotches must be made of the heaviest metal on earth.

Are torque converters really worth it? A couple of my buddies tell me I wont see big enough gains to warrant instaling one and that torque converter gains are huge in desiels.

Also I want to upgrade my cam, but I dont know which one to get. How do you know which one to get, I am just looking for added power. I am not looking to have a 12 sec truck just would like to have the power there if I choose to spank a tundra.

So another words my truck is pretty quick then but it would be quicker if my elevation was lower? Because i can spank a mustang easy at any mph roll but at a dig its a lil hard to catch up if the mustang is standard.

Anyone know how to raise the rev limiter on a Super chip? Because the option it gives me to change it i raise it to 5500 RPM's but when i accually rev my engine it only revs up to 4000 rpm as it does stock. any answers?

I know the Predator has an option to raise the rev limiter in neutral/park. Stock is 4K to keep people from blowing up the engine. I have no need to free rev mine more than that. I did up my 1-2 shift point from 5600 to 5800.
