Now we can run around with no cats and straight pipes with no problems... So I am very interested in the removal of everything and run the straight pipe if anyone figures it out.

Many people (at least what I see here in Florida) use these trucks for BOTH purposes. You got to admit, it is cool to see a 7500 lb work truck spank a "race car" at the track.

They are gonna crash down hard in the next few years on emissions violations and vehicle modifications in this great country. I had a cop pull me over the other day and tell me... "Ha, son you're gonna have to do somethin bout this truck in a year or two..." Supposedly there will be new legislation regarding vehicle heighth. =( My truck isn't even big.

I don't know if Matt (PSD 60L Fx4) has gotten his '08 yet, but I would imagine he'll be the first to be able to tell us definitively what the breaking point for a 6.4L is. And I imagine he'll do it the same way he did a few years back with the 6.0L. . . By driving it hard until he blew it up. . .Several times.
I used to love reading about the torture he would put that truck through.

A lot of people take dyno read outs to be gospel... when you can get, more to the point I HAVE got a 18% variation in peak hp in the same day, with the same car, same dyno, same operator.
Back to back track runs are probably the best measure of comparing changes.
Well, they are on big 4x4 trucks with a slushbox, where 60ft times can be pretty consistent.
2100lb, 2000hp Rotary powered funny cars... not quite as much.

Thats a bold statemnet your making Enema! Mike has gone outta his way to give us some info on his tuning and what he's found and your gonna dawg him like that?! Very bold move Enema man, very bold!
*Big Mike, Dont let Enema man stop you from posting on here. Your work is phenomenal and your one of the first to shed some light on what tuning is gonna be like for these new rigs and I appreciate it very much so! Keep up the great work and disregard what Enema man has to say, he clearly is full of hate and discontent towards your product, he speaks only for himself*
