Finally got mine installed on Saturday! I have definitely noticed an improvement in throttle response and power. It feels much more peppy when i put my foot in it. I'm not too worried about gas mileage right now, I'm just enjoying the power and allowing the truck to relearn. After I'm done having my fun with this tank, i'll fill up again and go for mpg' s on 87. After that tank, I'll fill up with premium and see if I can notice a big difference. If its like night and day, I'll run the premium, if not, I'll stick to the cheap 87. Install was a pain in the a$$ at first. The hood strut pi$$ed me off the whole time. I eventually unbolted the fuse box and the OEM wire harness bracket attached to the firewall. This allowed much more room and manuevering ability and it went right in. I advise everyone to do the same, or you'll be fighting with it the whole time. Had I done this initially, I could have installed it in 15 minutes instead of 30 I would like to get a cat back, maybe even some headers, before I spend money to get it custom tuned.

Install sounds familiar... My check engine light came on last night. Truck seemed fine, still don't like the way it shifts and it's been through about 3 tanks of gas... wonder if the dealership would adjust my traction control sensitivity? Seems like it has better power and response but the power isn't getting to the ground.
Had a new Hemi try and race me last night on my way home, beat him with the engine light on even but I thought I should have smoked him a lot worse. Gonna line it up with the 08 Cremax and see if I get stomped. If I do the chip is for sale.... Almost 3 miles per gallon Better towing my fifth wheel but no real difference when I'm not, and that's most of the reason why I bought it.
