Update...

Well guys....I installed all my parts today(Magnaflow 4"turboback exhaust,Bellowed uppipes,ATS housing,Wicked Wheel,HPX Crossover line Autometer gauges and LAST but not LEAST....DP-Tuner:Stock,High Idle,Lope Idle,60 tow,80 econo and 120 race.Man what a difference a DP Tuner makes for these trucks, its alot more responsive and a heck of alot faster. I havent had a chance to run it much but I have a little and LIKE IT. Now....I want to thank Jody and Diane at DP Tuner for their help( VERY nice people to deal with) and Bill at DFUSER...He gave me very good prices on my order and helped me with a couple of install questions.I also want to thank all the guys on here for answering all of my questions and for sharing their wisdom. Well, sorry for the long post but I really felt like I should give thanks.

Sounds like a you had a great day. My wife says the same thing, but when it comes to my truck I don't listen to her. She likes all my mods as much as me.

What does the ATS with WW sound like. Is it real loud? We need to hear more from you after you drive for a bit more.

Congrats on the install.

Just woke up fellas....Very sore this AM (lol). I started about 8:00 yesturday and worked till about 11:30 PM. I was by myself till about 3:00, I tell ya...we had a time getting the uppipes connected to the turbo but other than that it was a cool install/mod my truck day. The WW ATS combo sounds pretty good...it wasnt as loud as I was expecting. But sounds good though, Question... is it correct to assume that after installing the HPX crossover it will take awhile for it to run smooth, it was running kinda rough last night( I only drove it about 5 miles maybe).

Thx Shlepprock

I haven't done that yet, but I did read it take around 50 miles to get all the air out. Not sure but I think I read that.

Cool...We're gonna take it to dinner and shopping tonight so I guess we'll see how it turns out. I just hope it smooths out, I know the other stuff went well.

Ok...We took it to dinner and I think it was smoothing out a little bit. But I do have a question....When running my chip in the 80 or 120 setting am I supposed to hear the injectors ( like...alot ) more than stock? 'cause wow you can really hear them. Sometimes its like the injectors are hitting pretty hard. One other thing...the WW/ATS has like a pulsating kind of whistle...is this normal? It sounds good though.
Thx Schlepprock

Another question....Tonight...I was on the interstate running 70 mph, my egt's were staying right at 800 degrees. Does this sound about right?
