Perma Grin Has Set In!!!

I just got back from my trial run with my new DP Tuner and man what a difference!!!! I never thought a dually could "break ground" so damn easily.


Thanks to all of you for getting me hooked!!!!!

Jody and Diane are great people who make a great product, hat's off to the both of you!!

I figured you were busy putting it in. Did you get the same one I have or go up to the F-6? Having owned both, I can tell you the dually's actually spin the tires easier for some reason. But I know all about the Permagrin, maybe we can get a little race going on your way down here. I have not outgrown my bad habit of street racing. May just be a little more cautious.

Jim is too busy playing with his new toy to answer his own thread. But yes, he did gauges a few weeks ago. I am going to blow his doors off when he comes through NC though. LOL....Just don't tell him.

Not to answer for Jim, but he got the F5 with NS, Stock, 60T, 80E, 120R and 140E. The last three are why you haven't heard back from him.

On paper I should be somewhat quicker. The dually's do go up in smoke pretty badly because they are spreading the little bit of weight there is back there in the first place around. Not enough weight on each tire to get any bite. So, he would have to use 4 wheel drive, advantage----Mark. The only thing that could go wrong is I may be hauling too much weight. I have nearly 40 gallons of fuel right now and I am not driving anywhere until I head North for turkey day, and I always have about 400 pounds of tools where ever I go. He will have a slight drag racing gear advantage too, so it could be interesting.
