oh i am. i got pissed at it today cause it shut off my fifth gear right when i got on the interstate so i had to pull over and take it off the 220hp tune

but i put it back up there just to show off to some people.
i need to get some new tires cause i'm burnin the ones i got without even trying. i spun the tires today when i hammered on it goin 30mph.

i really wanna get on a dyno to see how much power i'm puttin out but i'm scared i'll mess up the tranny while i'm on it....

i wouldn't care if i the money to fix it in the bank(but i dont) or if i knew for sure my powertrain warrenty would cover damages if it broke(as long as i took my programmer out and told them i don't have one.)

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

oh and is there a chance i could up the engine? ause i think the engine light came on and it gave me some 07##(can't remember the other #s) error code.

I have 03 LB7 with ATS E-POWER on lvl 5 (220hp) just like the PPE hot. I don't get any smoke either. Maybe just a little grey puff but it has alot of power. I can't break my tires though. I do have bigger tires with low pressure. Mine won't spin it just goes.

yeah my tires are pretty shot. like i need new ones bad...
but mine has started to smoke on the lvl 5 tune(220hp) i'll get some black smoke but if i keep hammering on it it'll turn grey. after i drive normal for a bit i can hit the gas and it'll black smoke again though. it just depends on what kinda mood my truck is in i guess.

well Im only 16 and dont really care if my truck smokes or not it is just a waist of fuel, my chip is set on 40hp all the time, but I would have to agree get the ppe hot+2 that will make it smoke for you and injecters and big fuel system then it will smoke all the time. good luck about that ford your thinking about buying there seems to be a joke, I dont understand why she would sell that truck for $700, but hey that could get you your new trans and chip if you turn around and sell it to someone else.. Good luck
