Nice purchase. Let us know how you like it with the knife edge. When I had mine done I didn't do a knife edge bc some guys said it made the throttle a little too touchy. I would like to hear how it reacts for you bc I might knife edge mine.

Did you ever get those LT's on?

Better throttle response.

Venturi Effect -- The speedup of air through a constriction due to the pressure rise on the upwind side of the constriction and the pressure drop on the downwind side as the air diverges to leave the constriction.

Since I installed mine I found that it gives the truck nicer throttle response (some would call it touchier) and better pep when driving around town. For the price it is a pretty nice little mod.
