Default ATS Intake manifold installed...

did the install this morning... took about 30 minutes. easy to do.

first impression huh, feels the same. go to pass someone on the way to work and "hey it didnt downshift" and I easily passed... whereas w/o the ats, it would have downshifted. Checked the useless overhead comp and it was climbing pretty quick.

time will tell to see if there is a gain in the area I want or not, generally, for 1/4 tank I can get about 150~160 miles on the odometer...

BTW, since my switch to AMSoil, my overhead is up by a full 1 MPG. we'll see when I hit the pump.

lol, as luck would have it... I no longer have a digital camera... gave it back to my daughter in WA on the Vancouver trip. I'm not sure if my other daughters camera is working or not... I'll have to check. If so, I'll post some pics asap... I might actually have to break down and buy one...

damn it! so much for the mileage test. I have a serious problem with my right foot, it does not listen to a damn thing I tell it. one of the guys in the 2nd gen forum posted that he came up with a fix for that problem... a bunge cord from his knee to his toes, I might have to try it... lol

That problem solves itself real quick. Just spent $1600 on new tires (unfortunate to own a dually). Also when the tires don't spin, I eat up the clutch packs in that damn auto.
