Tinted license plate cover. I've had it since I turned 16 on every vehicle I've ever owned and never had a thing said about it until today. I've even been pulled over with it on there 3 times and one of those was in Florida.
The officer walked up to the window and said "Son, are you not proud to be from the state of Alabama?"
He was pretty cool and let me off with a warning since I removed it right there on the side of the road.

I think it really would as well. I think the 4.00 pulley would be about right on these trucks without getting too crazy.
I'm already thinking about pulling the leveling kit and the rear block out and throwing on smaller fatter tires to loose some weight. The tires alone on my truck right now are right at 80lbs. I was looking at a 305/55R20 terra grappler which only weighs 55 lbs and is like 12.60 inches wide. I think that would make a huge difference in the way the truck feels as well.

Def need to drop that wheel/tire weight down some, though I'm sure my 22 inch package isn't real light either. I'm going to need to do this ASAP-still wanna see that sheet, the torque curve is what I'm real interested in
Ugh that sucks, especially for something stupid like that.

Here you guys go! This was my last pull, on this one it put down 500rwhp at 9.3psi! With my heavy *** oversized tires we are estimating about 25-30% drivetrain loss so I'm damn near 625-650 at the fly!

giggity. Sounds great. Glad you are getting those numbers. Hard to believe that you are getting 100 more hp than the procharger tune. I guess that can be chalked up like a diesel though. Underpower for serviceability.

I can't say enough about how much better the truck drives and feels now. On the way home it did not downshift a single time on the interstate and there are some very steep hills on that stretch of road. On the way down the truck was constantly shooting down to 5th and even 4th a time or too. It's just incredible what was able to be done for the truck with just a tune. I would recommend MPT to anyone at anytime. Seriously the best guys I have dealt with that had anything to do with my truck. Mike (the owner) even called me first thing this morning to make sure I had made it home safely and to make sure that I did not need anything from him or want any tune revisions. You don't find that kind of customer service anywhere anymore.
Getting this custom tune was by far the best money I have spent on the truck in a very long time. I would turn around right now and drive the 600 miles to do it all again without thought.

Yeah, the ProCharger tune was crap. It ran so rich that it would turn the bottom of my bumper black like a diesel and had no power down low at all.
