I know it's hard to determine gains via the SOP (seat of pants) method, but I'm pretty perceptive to the differences. Not that it gives me any more credibility by saying so, but I've tuned some older carbed vehicles with the butt dyno method (reading plugs, setting timing by ear, etc.) back in the day before there were any g-techs or the like. I'm pretty perceptive to changes in the way a vehicle runs and feels. One other problem is sometimes you can't see much difference from a mod on a dyno, but when driving the vehicle part throttle there may be a much bigger change. So no, physical measurements were not made verifying my above stated claims. I have a previous baseline dyno on the truck, so I might go back soon to do another few runs, funds allowing.

good stuff. i'm interested to hear how the numbers are on a back to back vs. your stock intake and what you have on ehtere now. I would love to open up some restrictions. any extra power when I'm towing would be great.
