Default my 02 loss of power ?

why does it seem like changin my exhaust from a 3.5" downtube and 4" the rest of the way out to 4" downtube and 5" stacks make it seem like i lost the get up it used to have?or maybe for some reason it also seems like my egts are actually higher than normal. whats a good egt to be running at in OD on the highway at 70mph. ? and whats the max egt i should be hitting before failure, and what to stay away from...this is killin me. maybe its just because my truck is MUCH louder than normal and im thinkin it should be goin faster for how loud it it...i dont know

maybe earlysigns of a lift pump. I hada feeling mine was slowing down a little over several months. Tossed in the fass, now she smokes like she used to and picked up some power.

I think the attitude is lying to ya. I would check it with a mechanical gauge just to be sure.
