yeah, there's not enough room in there for a new sig. BUT, once the mods start on the '05 and or the '00 is gone, I'll give it an update!

what is the TST? I found an edge setup already that is reasonable in price (used) and have been leaning that way because of the functionality of the monitor...

had to get white didnt you

the TST is a timeing duration only box that will just about double the power output of the engine to put it in a short sweet to the point statement.

it will run about $700, but the nice thing is it allows for room to grow for new parts. stock, the truck can handle 3/3 no problem, but crank it to 10/10 and watch your egt's nail 1500+, and your back tires will also be bald in about the same time

another good box to look at is the quadzilla box. you can google either one of these and find the website. the quadzilla box is a timeing/duration on 1 and 2, but in 3 it gives a bit of a pressure increase that stays in the safe limits of the pop-off valve.

when you are looking for performance boxes stay away from those that use pressure only, or use pressure as the domanant factor in building power. the pop-off valve is an expensive part to replace.

OK, I'll look into it... Thanks!

white was 1 of 4 acceptable colors... Grey, Black, white or Blue with Silver getting some strong consideration.
since this truck had only 14k miles & still had the balance of the factory warranty, I thought it would be a good way to go. some of the other trucks had 40 to 100k miles on them and were about the same price.
