The PPE Xcelerator will make more power than your truck can handle .. Definately worth every penny.. When you get a built trans, go right to EFI Live..

no i dont wanna limp my tranny. and i ain't got money to replace it if it breaks...
(of course i could just take the programmer back out and tell them it broke on it's own and just take advantage of my powertrain warrenty...)
