Default Added some power..first mods

Well,after driving it for over 1 yr totally stock,made some changes today.Cat is history,K&N and an Edge EZ..all I can say is I cant believe I didnt do this a year ago.Even on lowest setting,it is a different truck.The throttle response is awesome.I wasnt after more power,but the Edge smoothed the motor out and took out what I can only describe as a dead spot in the pedal.Its on its way to Florida this weekend.I will keep an eye on my mpg's and see.I have to tow about 8k lbs plus trailer.It says tow safe in lowest setting,hope so,cause gauges arent here yet.

I saved the cat.I am in Ohio,we dont test yet.

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

22.0028 mpg unloaded with the Edge on 25 hp setting.Used same pump to refill to get these figures.Got almost 2 mpg more on a steady,non loaded run.
