In all fairness, it's not my intention to exagerate, and I truly do think without anything contributing to power losses, it's near 300hp at the crank because these types to mods HP gains typically do stack.

I was raised to be as.close to non-programmed as possible,.without me even knowing it. Yeah, it's tough to avoid..And it has consequences. For example, we.become.socially disenfranchised. I did not associate with bigots/racists So I had to finger out a.lot for myself. I had "rabbits and spooks," very logically, backasswards for years..Sheesh,.LOL!

BTW, I sent you a PM a few days back, whenever you finger out that part of the forum. 😉

Yeah, the dyno prob not a good idea.

Sounds like you're having fun as is.

I'm picking up on your sarcasm... and I welcome it!

Who really knows... I think it's pretty close, but if say 280hp is more accurate, I'm fine with that. Drivability wise, I just got back from a trip to SF and all around the city... it's GOTs (pun intended) all the power I could ever need to pull what are the steepest roads you'll ever drive, anywhere. Truck is running so damn good after getting that wiring issue sorted, and running the Superchips tune through the learning mode.

Good on ya Bill... think for yourself, and question even your our self "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are so certain of themselves, yet wiser men so full of doubt." -Bertrand Russell

BTW: Got a notification that said "Bill's inbox is full, and he can't receive replies until he clears the damn thing".
