Engine cover looks awesome! Wonder if the heat will have any effect on the paint?

I would if I hadn't taken them all off to put on some farm equipment for spring planting...I'll eventually put them on when I get them back.

Its been on for 2 weeks with a couple of those days being really hot and so far it still looks good. Maybe 6 months from now it won't look the same.

Just ordered the SCT X4 tuner from Mike at 5 star tuning! I should start apologizing to my tires right now for the upcoming abuse.

I did too so I found 2 other guys at work that also wanted one and we got a smoking deal by ordering 3 tuners at once from Mike!

Finally put a few miles on the truck with the tuner and all I can say is wow. The turbos scream when it's pulling hard up a hill. Took off from a stoplight going up a hill and a guy with a dodge ahead of me in the other lane stuck his head out the window cause he could hear me coming and didn't know what it was. The power is unreal now and the mileage went from 13.5 to 14 driving 70 to 15.8 and it was still going up when i stopped. I haven't adjusted for tire size yet so that will also help. Driving about 60 the instantaneous read over 20 most of the time but need to do more driving. O yea this is all on the 91 tow perf tune from 5 star tuning. The economy tune will probably be even better!

Picked up a twister resonator from Mike at 5 star tuning. Haven't put it on yet but I'm looking forward to eliminating the angry bee noise I get in the cab.

Finally installed the resonator. It's definitely much quieter now.....almost too quiet.
