Did you notice a mileage difference after you went to a 180?

Yeah, but with my truck running 9.7º advanced, that still wouldn't help. Either way, I'm very, very interested in the Airgap.

It's the intake air temp that is reduced by 30º, not engine temp.

VW, have you changed your timing chain since getting the truck?

Yep, but it's not that. It's the PCM.

i got a stiffy watching the tach hit the red line.

edit - oh, by the way - your oil pressure is a tad low at idle like mine is, but you had about 70 psi at the high rpms.

I had something like 3/4 of a tank of gas when I installed it and I just screwed around until it was fill up time and since filling up I have been driving like I have some sense (and not that much either) so I still need to burn some more gas to get it down to 1/4 tank again to fill up and see the numbers on that first tank.

I guess I'll drive it to work over the weekend so I'll have to fill up come Sunday or Monday.

And Purpl, I remember you saying that you hate your Dodge and love that chick truck so no, no performance parts for you.
