saw about 30 to 40 hp gain (havent dynoed yet cause im not done), I also noticed huge throttle response increase.. right around 3.9 - 4.0 0-60 depending on temps and conditions....

RE: Cheap Exhaust Setup
how did you time your 0-60?
just so that you know for future reference, its been physically proven to be better for the truck to race with the tailgate up, than with the tailgate down. i used to also think that it would be faster with it down, or removed, but without a bed cover, and with the tailgate down or gone, it creates a drag along the back of the cab. with the tailgate up, the air that gets "trapped" in the bed creates almost a surface for the other air traveling over to flow.
