? does removing the cat help,to me it would seem to be a good mod to help the flow and let the turbo spool up quicker? right

That is correct. Also add a turbo back 4" or larger exhaust that will help tremendously. Along with a cold air intake. Searh 6637 for an easy one. You can get it at NAPA.

Congrats on the truck. I wish I shared the same feelings as the others do about diesel prices. I don't see it coming down for a long long time...if ever. I would like to see it come down to regular gas prices tho.....Maybe it'll drop this summer when the fuel oil demand goes down...one can only hope. I still love my rig tho, you will too

yea i love the truck and the difference the diesel gets in mileage is way more than the little difference between the cost gas and diesel. my old powerwagon gets 9 miles to the gallon and the f-250 is looking to be close to 20 mpg,,i'm way better off with the diesel,,wayne
