Cool Beans... My 3815 tunes were setup to ditch 2P and bump my idle a hair since about July of '07 at my request. But I used the 3815 to reset the truck to stock last friday and I have it up for sale. I was made an offer I couldn't refuse...

The only things that would stear me away from this intake is cutting up the front of the truck for the "ram air" affect, the cheap plastic crinkled tubing, and the lack of any sort of heat shield. Sure there is probably one on the bottom of the filter where it sits on the engine but the hoses are running right next to the engine picking up residual heat and the "glass" housing is sitting at the highest point under your hood where any bit of hot air will settle (everyone remmbers 8th grade science class, hot air rises cold air sinks) so that would also be heated up. I dont buy ANY manufacturers word on what their product will do, all they want to do is sell you something to turn a profit.
That being said, THE only other CAI I would pick up other than what I have now (which is by no means the best or the worse CAI out there) is a BFI.

and good luck for anyone trying to get there hands on a BFI they are having issues aging with the manufacturing them and shipping them to the people who have already paid for them. they are having the same issues as when they were call ramhammer changing the name did not change anything lol

It isn't that I had set too high expectations with the flashpaq; I've been around the block with bolt-ons with my neon and '01 Ram, so I knew it wasn't going to be anything too crazy. In fact, the major driving force of me buying the superchips was for 1.) program my truck to utilize 91 octane because I always use 91 anyways and 2.) increase throttle and downshifting response. I still drive the same roads to work and still have to go up the same giant *** hills, and my truck still takes awhile to realize it needs to kick down a gear so it can works its *** up the big hill. With this said, the truck definitely improved its passing power, but I was hoping the chip would offer better throttle response during casual driving like my friend's hypertech did for his F-150 (he can just play with his throttle all day).
