well i tried to keep it quiet, i did pretty good until now, ordered the predator yesterday around 10 am, came home three times today after running the kids around, getting them ready for school, the fourth time i came home at 1 pm, there it was at my front door. sent the kids inside, sat on the deck and read the manual, installed it about twenty minutes later, took the first ride and was a little disapointed, took another ride and WOW, this thing really rocks at 65 mode.

THANKS TO ALL AT THIS SITE FOR ALL THE GOOD INFO, I CAN'T WAIT TO GO OUT AGAIN TOMORROW. THIS TRUCK REALLY WOKE UP

The install is a breeze, it took maybe 10 minutes tops. The only major problem is that I can't go drive it and test it out till' the morning. I'll let ya'll know how it does.

If you're not smoking from a stop you need to hold the brake and give it some throttle. Let the turbo spool up and let go of the brake... yeeee haaaa!
