sounds like a really good addition. zman, i see you've already got a superchips, fastman TB, and exaust (and so does talon). i wonder if a completely stock setup would produce as good of a result ? or if this was just the final piece of the puzzle that your engine was waiting on...

I would like to know too. We need to find someone to do this mod first, that doesn't have the death flash too. Only other thing I might do is try a cheap set of pacesetter shorty's. Then wait for the tires to wear out, go up a size and see if I'll want 4:10's. Of course I know that in the mean time I'm going to have to spend some cash replacing the rusted stuff.

You might consider powder coating or ceramic coating some of your parts or they might rust up again. I've never seen rust like you've got zman. Was that a hurricane truck or something?

LOL! You were the first one that came to mind when I said that, but could not remember how to spell your long a-s confusing member name! LOL

Oh! And they are around 300 bucks, but well worth it IMO.

10 to 15 rwhp on a stock motor is what john mercedes said on the dyno.

Will the 1.7 RR work by themselves with no other bolt-ons or power adders? Or is it a must to have a programmer, exhaust, and stuff like that to work together with the RR?
