well all done. here's my first thoughts. i only drove it for about 15miles or so. when i first started it up the idle seemed a little rough. so i just let it sit there and idel for a little while.(15 min or so). shut it off and started it back up and it was idleing alot better. took it for a little spin and it didnt seem to be any low end loss. maybe just a little gain. now from about 2500 to about 3000rpms you could really tell a difference. the truck was pulling alot harder. well, thats my first thoughts on it. i can only figure it will get better as the computer learns it.
do i think it was worth 628$ shipped to my house? donnt think so. it needs to be a couple hundred less. but i think it will really help compliment my future mods.(cam,heads,and maybe supercharger). and i donnt have to worry about a blown plenum gasket now.

If you could also give us, your 2 cents on any change to MPGs and how it runs once the ECU has relearned.

the only mod i have tried that helped the gas mileage was the hypertech max enery. i gained a couple mpg when i had it. and just plain babying your truck will also help.

went for another little ride tonight. there is a improvement for sure. i was really running the hell out of the truck tonight and i donnt do that to often. i had it in first gear a couple times going about 30mph and punched it and it barked the tires. i couldnt believe it. it wouldnt do that before. remember i have 35/12.50 cepek crushers, which are a pretty heavy tire and 3.92 gears. you can really feel a difference when the rpms get up around 2500 like i said before. it really pulls alot better.
as for gas mileage no chance of that yet. i was probably getting about 5mpg the way i had the pedal pushed through the floor.lol
cannt wait to get the sct. i just know its gonna help tie things together.probably next week for sure. gonna get the deal with unlimited tunes, so i can keep upgrading and get the right tune to go with it.
