Look at post #10 on page 1. I ran my truck on a chassis dyno with the different resistors. You can see how my truck responded. Each truck will respond differently.

Seat-of-the-pants dynomometers are okay for bench-racing, but the chassis dyno shows the numbers at the wheels.

i looked at your numbers, i will need a dyno to really see. i dont know if i really got anymore horsepower, but it defitally tached up faster. i thought about putting together a test box with different combos and a selector switch and go for a ride.

I ran a 15.6 (Is that right?) It was the one right after the 14.7, and it ran good, real good, but I took it out for winter and lost it, but if things go well I may just get me a chip and call her good after winter.
