Yea , you won't get anything out of the gotts unless you modify the exhaust and run just a tad more lean...which doesn't hurt anything. With more intake, you also need more exhaust...hand in hand. Then yes, definitely a good bump in power/torque, very noticeable bump lol.

I think your calculations are off.

I don't ever floor it - maybe that's where the gain is found.

Even though they were a little rusty, I should've pulled those flex lines from the '99 before I sold it since they're no longer made.

..
loop would have been better and easier to do but i didn't think of it - how much movement is there between the master cylinder and the ehcu under normal operating conditions ?

Inching closer to finishing my OBA setup. got the tank and compressor mounted, and ran the line into the cab for the pressure gauge. Only things left are finishing up wiring the pressure switch, fabbing a frame mount for the horns, and finding where I put my air valve for the horns.

Picked the Ol lady up from my mechanic this morning. Man, she feels like an entirely new truck! Only thing that went back on after they tore in to the front end was the springs and shocks. No more popping, clipping or creaking. The steering is tighter and my steering wheel is straight for the first time in nearly two years.

Once I settle up with them I'll be picking up some lift springs to get rid of the leveling spacers I currently have on there. I'll also replace all 4 shocks as well.

Extremely happy this morning!

I picked mine up today and drove it home. The ride was not without incident... soft brake pedal and both front brake calipers were not releasing. I read on this forum about possible cause being the rubber brake lines but both at the same time? I did find that the brake fluid container was almost empty! I will inspect and correct the issues as soon as I can get my old butt out there in this heat/humidity.
