Default What I got for 2000 bucks

Ok so it sounds like it is working... Less egts. But ditto what did you get and what fueling mods are done to the truck?

ya, all that Bank$ $tuff i$ nice and all but a little pricey IMHO for the minimal re$ult$ gained.

i would have dropped the coin on a good converter and a valve body before i $pent my hard earned money on anything Bank$.... but that is my bia$ed opinion

it is ea$ier to upgrade part$ that you know will fail, before they fail, then to have downtime when they do fail and have no money left over becau$e you $pent it on part$ that cau$ed it to fail......

with a $tock Auto it isn't a matter of "IF" but when it will fail

That stuff is not going to help right now BUT when you get a turbo and injectors and a Smarty then that stuff will make a difference! Did you get a cold air intake and open the exhaust up? Your buying out of order right now!

You have my sympathy. You wasted $2k on junk that wasn't needed and isn't much better than stock.

Live and learn.
