Yes you do need to get that thing tuned. All it needs is the fuel to back up that sound and you'll have a hick butt truck.
Just make sure to keep it out of the ditch when giving it throttle. . . :D |
Yeah, with the added HP and better throttle management that Mike's tunes provide, I think I may give the diesels a run for their money. }>

Matt, did you happen to see what your fuel mileage was before and after the tow?
I was around 18 and it went back to 16.5 when I switched my screen back to the mpg calculator at Mikes before I rolled out. I got back over 17 before I got home. I believe that is with around 200 miles on that tank of fuel also (I went home from work, then to work in the am, and out to pickerington before I headed up to Millersburg on that tank). |
Great vids and write up...Not only would I have had the crappiest truck, Looks like I would probably have been the oldest...I mean most mature!!! :-missingt

For anyone interested, I put my (unloaded) 6.2 on the scale while we were there. With me and Steve (Dim Sum) in the truck and just over a half tank of gas, it came in at 8060.
I figured with just me and a full tank, the truck would be just shy of 8k. |
it came in at 8060. |

I didn't expect the 6.2l truck to weigh that much even though its a CC LB. Wow.
For the record, I'm 210lbs. |
