Marty .....

Thoughts and prayers for your Mom and that she feels better soon

 

Just got back from some perf testing and butt dyno results from the new header install . I put about 35 miles on the truck today doing some mtn driving and freeway driving and again very impressed with the performance gains

I went up the 4200ft Cajon Pass on I -15 north and prior to the header install by the time I was nearing the steepest section prior to Oak Hills I would be down 60 mph with the trans in passing gear

Now today I stayed at 75mph the whole way up the pass and never felt it slowing down . Even had enough power to swap lanes and pass which was almost impossible before . I even had plenty of power entering the freeway and barely any throttle input

Even was able to blow the doors off a 2016 double cab Tacoma on the steepest section of the pass and I know the driver heard the blower whine LOL!!!

Even driving around town throttle input was less than before especially from a stop light and felt like I've got a 3.4 V6 as driveabilty is so much better and doesn't feel like a 4 cylinder at all

I guess it took some extra driving today to get the ECU to recalibrate and it shows it , feels so much more responsive and efficient now and can't wait to check fuel mileage

Let's see .... next perf mod is a big hit of Smurf Juice , maybe a 125 - 150 hit !!!!

 

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i bet andy never makes fun of 1 of my typos again

 

Lucky and thankful. Moms 85 and Dad is 90. Just had their 65th.

 

great news chuck but isn't that enough?

 

I'm happy with the results !!!

 

i would hope so! i think that's just badass with a 4cyl. i've been tickled to death with how mine does even after the bigger tires. the air filter helped but the only time i feel power loss is when the a/c is on. going to to be a right badass little truck when you get the suspension and wheels and tires on

 

it's late but good evening everyone!

 

wassup mikey you goin' fishin in the morning?

 

Work.......

 

well that sucks but

 

Yea it s but suppose to rain all weekend so not as if I'm going to lose good weather

 

night boys... it's flipping HOT outside!!! Although guess it doesn't help that I need to dig trenches to move the back 80' of sprinkler line Have to dig up the old line and a new trench to put the line in

 

all the digging you need a backhoe

 

don't get any exercise using a back hoe and it would break my sprinkler line....

 

You can rent a trencher from home depot. Still a workout . Think about it.
