I shot it with a Sony Cypershot 7.2mp cam. It's made for taking pics but it also takes video pretty decently.

There were a lot of differences. Ever since i installed my CAI, my engine ran a tad more rough than before. The chip smoothed out the engine a lot. The shifting is smoother now. There is also quicker throttle response. I know this for a fact becase i can now spin a tire from a dead stop everytime. My truck doesnt make enough power to spin both unless the road is wet, then both light up. All that has to do with more power too. I did notice a nice little increase in power throughout the rpm range. I can't comment on the mpg because i drive drive for fuel economy

I got exaust, new intake and a chip. With the 3.0L, the chip made the most difference. One day, ill drop $3,500 on a whipple supercharger.
