Need some help

I have a new 2006 F350, and today I went to the toy store, I bought and installed a Bully Dog Tpower turner I have 270 miles on the truck. The owner of the Toy Store told me I should remove the cat-verter, said it would bost horse power and lower the EGT. Is he right.

It won't boost the HP to remove it but it will definitely help with the EGT's. I would wait a couple thousand miles before I hammered on it too hard though.....at least let the rings get seated before you blow the top end out.

Thanks for the reply, I'm an old fart, 55, so I will take it easy, I didn't need the truck but I wanted it, sometimes we have to have our toys.

Wouldnt want to be running around getting 9 miles a gallon bcz a little bit of fun, i also think you lose power if its not well broke in b4 you really get on it. Dont quote me but thats what ive heard

I was always told break it in like you are going to drive it, that being said, I don't drive fast, and got over burning tires about 35 years ago, but when I want to pass, I want to get it done.
Thanks for the replys.
