Default took my truck out for a "clean the injectors" spin...

ran it in OD up a 7% grade that is nearby in stock mode... pretty impressive, was able to accellerate easily in OD. wish I would have tried that before the ATS intake to get a comparison run.

A couple of miles down the road there is a shorter steeper grade that I also ran up... put the tst on 2/4 and let er rip... "DAMN" is about all I can say... really strong, didnt even make full throttle, boost was above 35 all the way up (both runs). it's hard for me to imagine what this truck will do WOT...

I did my WOT run this morning, ran into one of the local PS hot rodder. would have easily passed him but I missed 4th gear[:@] oh well. there's 5 of them where I live. Ive been sizeing three of them up and I know I can easily take them, the other two Ive only seen on occasion going the other way and both are very clean trucks, lots of graphics, I doubt they would want to race light to light.

for me 3/2 is quite impressive (3 power, 2 torque) without slipping the clutch, my next tank I'm gunna go to 3/3 and see what happens for mileage.

"DAMN"
Aren't you having tranny problems?

Did you get it fixed yet?

as far as the WOT goes... i'm not sure what it'll do but its damn impressive @ 3/4 throttle... I've seen 40psi of boost on several occasions. The thing I LOVE about this truck is all that power, and then at the press of a button, decent mileage... oh yeah!


care to share your mileage data that you have to date?
