yea the blue one provides more hp b/c it refracts the sun's uv rays to an aft trajectory advertantly creating a vortex genorator behind the vehicle causing a locomtion effect among the verticle axis therefor but not limited to a thrusting motion being affected upon the aft of the vehicle, therefor "pushing" if you will, the vehicle into a whole new world of lightspeed that even star trek dont even know about.... like warp 100000,,, try hitting a deer at warp 100000, see what happens... thats why i also installed a new set of phaser banks on the grille,,, just incase them sons-a-bi*ches come flying outa no where again...kinda like the romulins

yea... just off the top of my head i should write a book about nothing and sell millions.... anyway... we should stop talkin smash on this thread..steve is actually tryin to help the dude... we should start an idiodic stupid comment thread...

amanda might be out..they were free and only available for a week...a promo thing from some sticker guy... promo sticker guys rule!!!!!!!! i wanna be a promo sticker guy

6) re-adjust your TV cable $free

If I do that, it sound like It would use a little more gas, am I right? so if I'm also going for more MPG not at good a idea to do that?

Oh yes, and what the heck is a kegger?

here's some...

2) slot your crank position sensor and move the sensor away from the fender (towards the center of the truck) $free

6) re-adjust your TV cable $free

Ok please explain the first one, never heard of that? And does readjusting your TV cable really help your preformance?

slotting your crank sensor will allow you to advance the timing across the whole rpm range. there is a web page on it somewhere you should be able to search for it pretty easily.

the TV cable adjustment is a performance mod and not a mpg mod... when it comes down to it... the lighter you are on the throttle, the sooner it will shift. lay your foot into it and then it will shift differently (my truck does anyway)

Funny Man... the kegger is the intake manifold. somehow it got that name because someone thought it resembled a "keg" of beer. probably someone had a little too much to drink when working on their truck...[sm=alcoholic.gif]

if your looking for better milage, the best mods would be anything that increases low end torque, lightens the truck and reduces your rotational mass (lighter rims, pulley kit etc). the less weight you have to push, the easier it is and the less gas it will use to do it. IMO

Alright, for the sake of arguement, how about this mod. I know taking your tailgate down does not help the MPG gain. But as all of know our tailgates are pretty hefty. So if we just take the whole darn thing off it would ligten the truck and would we then get a little extra ounces per mile? Just a question folks!

See link below. Does anyone know if this actually works? You will find these "performance chips" all over Ebay.

why would anyone pay $7 bux for a $0.49 cent resistor? he even tells you what value it is... just go buy one.

the better thing to do is just move the IAT to the intake tube.

i did a search for the tailgate thing on google and came up with a few different links...the majority stated it in fact does not help but actually hurts your mgp.i wouldve thought just the opposite but ya cant argue with physics.
