Talking DP installed

all i can say is WOW!!!! this thing is amazing!!! it totally blows my SCTout of the water!! 80 eco would kill my race setting on the sct!!! the 120 race is just nuts i was scared to go WOT i felt like it would kill my stock trans!!! i must say the trans is totaly different it hols shifts longer, and hits the gears hard, it feels like it is killing my tranny, but i knw that it is actually better for it!!
anyway another happy dp coustomer!

Congrats, that was the exact same first impression I had as well "WOW". If you feel your tranny is shifting too hard, you might want to consider a new valve body and/or ask Jody to back off the pressure. I am about to order a John Wood's per Jody's recommendation since at WOT my shifts flare slightly. A new VB is said to 'improve shifting' across the board.

Congrats on the new truck. I had the same impression when I first installed mine. The problem with this is, you can't stop once you start.

OH DUH!!! "Wide Open Throttle"... man, that must be fast. There isn't ANYWHERE around here that I'd dare to go that fast... or, am I misunderstanding something? Is WOT having your foot on the throttle hard enough to where the trans shifts at the highest RPM's the motor will go?

Yes, WOT, is putting your foot on the skinny pedal and try to push it through the floor board from a dead stop, or at anytime.
