Injectors are in!

Just took my maiden voyage with the 180/80's and all I can say is wow! It's a whole new animal now. Until it lights, it drives like a stock truck, but when you ask for it, it's there right now. My poor trans is really going to hate me. I'm excited to tow with them, but I realize I'll need to take it easy and keep my eye on temps. There is so much power now. I've got a couple before and after boost vids I'm trying to get William to post for me. Big thanks again to Mike and Alex, without you guys, this wouldn't have happened. That perma grin is back!

Next to none, I have to try in my 140 tune to make it smoke, of course it was dark. I'm also still running stock tuning. Mike believes its tuned for stage 1's, but The BTS office denies this. Who knows.

Thanks Aaron, this deal was too good to pass up. Plus these have now been in 4 members trucks. You can't let history like that go to a junkyard!

Happy you are enjoying them. For mine to smoke I had to be in 140 race and hammered down

If you had stock tuning you wouldn't notice any power gains past a 60-80hp tune

I better figure out a trans first! But yes, an S series is in the future, but probably a long way off. When the time comes, I might just say the hell with it and go with a 400 frame instead of 300. A guy can dream right?
