permagrin has arived

So, I got my DP installed today and took the truck for a drive. Started on stock and worked my way up to the 140 extreme. All I can say is flat impressive! I am amazed at the raw power this thing has. It put the SCT on my old 6.0 to shame. Anyways, want to thank everyone for the guidance. No buyers remorse here.

I also want to thank Clay at riffraff for all his help. He has now been promoted to hero in my book!

Off for another drive!

Welcome to the dark side.

You got gauges? You're are going to need to watch your EGT's with all that new found power. Have fun!!!

That is awesome to know. Bird Dog, I do have guages. That is a must if you are running something like this and doing heavy towing. Fortunately for me, I have the tranny too, so I don't have to worry about it much! Thanks for all the help fellas!
