I read somplace on the "other" forum that T.B. is supposed to gain all across the rpm range... is that right or what? I dont think our trucks can afford to lose too much in the low rpm range...

This is not really correct. You will see gains in the higher RPM bands. You lose torque when you have a larger TB. It is a trade off for higher HP numbers in the upper RPMs. To offset this, consider some aftermarket roller rockers. This would be giving you the power in the lower RPMs and will be continued through the higher RPMs.

Just ask all of the guy trucks around, she might be putting out a lot.....
Those are great numbers. I'm thoroughly impressed. What are the mods again? Cams, TB, Intake, exhaust? That's about right... Right?
Now I'm looking forward to the Cams next year.

I talked to Dan today and he said that mine is shipping out tomorrow. I should have it either on Thursday or Friday, and then I'm going to install on Saturday.
I'm soooo excited, I'm as giddy as a school girl.

RE: throttle body update
sweet, you should snap a few pics of the install and do a how-to... I am sure there are a few of us who would like to see it... 
BTW you notice any more out of your stage II yet? I am happy with the stage I so if you gain a lot w/ teh stage II it might be a summer budget option for me.
