Power Wire
Ive had my truck for a little more than 2 years, and my warranty has 6k miles left, so I figure its about time to start doing some more stuff to it. I saw that a few of you guys had installed the power wire on your trucks, and the price is cheap enough. I was wondering if you really felt a difference in power/mileage or if its just a waste of money. Also if please let my know if this made you encounter any problems
Thanks
Thanks

RE: Power Wire
i liked it at first...but, maybe i was brainwashed. i'm going to track in next few weeks (before june i think)...and i'm gonna do some runs with it, and some runs without it. for some reason, i think it'll do better w/out it. i am just pretty sure the way i drive it just eats gas mileage, so i now hate it. hell, i'm gonna go for a drive right now to aunt in a few. i'll take that sumbitch out and see if it's a noticable decrease in power...

RE: Power Wire
yea, i've had my power wire out for a few days. at full throttle is when the wire is supposed to have its stuff happen...but without it on, my trucks faster. i'm positive about that. so, maybe my wire was juat making it to lean and bogging it a bit? cause that's what it felt like. at higher rpms, maybe it made a difference...like when at full throttle at high speeds, it probably does a bit, but when flooring it from the line, after swtiching gears, such as into third, the rpms are low, and the extra gas being delivered at WOT seems to just bog it down. stupid thing.
