I had a 52mm fastman on my 2000... along with 1.7 rollers, modded kegger, headers, dual out flowmaster and oversized K&N fipk filter... it rocked. started out like a slug, finished up nicely.

I plan to (within the next year or so) get the air filter set-up changed andget the Fastman TB. My goal after that is to get headers, and then I want to have the computer flashed to match up with everything. When I head back east in about 8 months, I will be at a much lower elevation, so it will need to be adjusted anyway. Thanks for giving me hope of less sluggishness!

when I sold my truck, I stripped off all the performance go fast goodies and could not believe how slow it was. it was sad in a way and nearly brought a tear to my eye as I loved the 2nd gen truck I had...

One question: I've always heard that cooler air goinginto yourengine is better. With these trucks not having any air dams in the hoods, wouldn't the round set-up be feeding much hotter air to the engine than the stock setup? Just asking... If it does, in fact, increase fuel mileage, it may be easier to convince the wifey. What about increased cab noise from the round setup?
The air will be cooler when you are moving due to the flow through the front of the truck. The only time it would be hotter than the stock setup is when you are not moving. I am thinking about cutting one of the flaps beside the radiator and installing a 6" aluminum dryer duct hose to bring more fresh air to the round filter. Haven't had time to do it yet though. There is a sucking sound from the engine bay that you hear when you first start it up due to the iac sucking air to get the idle mixture right, and at a certain throttle position you hear a sucking sound when driving on the highway. I just increase or relax pedal pressure a little and it goes away. You get used to it. If you have the cb and stereo cranked most of the time like me you hardly notice it anyway......
