Breaking the exhaust bolts loose and getting to them is the hardest part.

The dyno was cool. It's not just the peak gain. The power gain off of idle to about 2,200 rpm is big. Once the dyno comparison is made available, you will see what I am talking about.

When doing our testing we repeated a 95% engine load over and over again. This gave us very accurate readings. Down low, where the dyno didn't read, the power is great. It acts more like a gasser, with the power straight off line and pulls hard all the way up. Leadfoot, felt it from our ride to and from the dyno place. It's nice.

It was supper secret In this crowd, when you start to talk about something you have to know EVERYTHING or it's null and void. Now we have the fact and they are good, from my point of view. Only time will tell on the longjevity.

If I may, here is where we load tested my truck Flashsplash

After some 'regular' dyno numbers, we did a one minute loaded run at 95% truck load. That info is stored in TxC's computer, that's where the numbers shine. After our 'real world' test this weekend, everthing will be spelled out. No worries.
