Default Flowmaster 50 series installed!!

Installed the Flow yesterday... NICE!!! As expected, little loss on the low end & nice gains on the upper end. Truck really scoots now for being so heavy. Did a 15' burn out "just to see" (285's on MT Classic II's)... would be nice to have something to compare by other than the butt dyno. Also wrapped the fuel rails & intake area, showed me that I'm sucking in a lot of hot air still. I'll need to fix that before leaving for Yellowstone on Friday.

This might sound really stupid on my part but how did you do a burn out in your truck, I got the same thing except mines a 98', and every time I try I can't get my tires to spin. I have stock Firestone Wilderness AT's LT265/75/R16 if I'm not wrong. I just can't get my damn thing to peal out, think you guys could help me? lol

Do the headers and intake make that much of a difference?

Mike.

For the burn out... apply the brakes, rev motor until as much as you can (torqe conv will stop it @ an RPM), then quickly release the brakes & stomp on it.

Yes!!! Headers & intake make a difference!!! I had stock 3.55's in the diffs & it was pretty doggy when I first go the truck... after putting in the intake & headers (in that order), then adding the Hypertech PP III programmer, it moved pretty good. Recently I added a fuel cooler & insulated the fuel rails & intake area & that also made a difference. The cooler gave me a 6% increase in mpg. And a slight increase in low end torque (you could feel it).
