Thanks !! It was a good time. I am also thinking about trying that Klotz Nitro addative next time. They seemed to have impressive results with it on project mpg.

I talked to the guy at the dyno a week and a half ago and he was sending the whole system back to have it worked on can't figure out whats wrong. As soon as it is up he will give me a call but he better hurry hunting season is almost here and this will be going on the back burner.

Who cares that is why you live in Florida and do whatever you want to your truck and when you get pulled over the cops actually talk to you about all the illegal stuff you have done to your truck. I agree with t-bird. But it is cool to see what you are doing to make more power out of a efi motor. You just got more options with a carb.

Hey guys, this is a very interesting thread, I'm loving it. I do have a silly question though. When you run on a Dyno, how does that work? Would I just floor the truck or what?

I would like to put my truck on a dyno sometime in the future and I would like to have some knowledge so I do it right.

Okay thank you very much I have ONE more Dyno related question. Do I turn my Over Drive off or does that not matter?

I think it depends on the Dyno and the software running it. When I dynoed my truck, the software assumed a gear ratio of 1:1, so I had to keep it in 3rd for the actual pull. YMMV
