    When AJ asks me how the test drive went, I usually start off by saying "It didn't blow up!", then I say "If it isn't worse, it must be better."
    The tunes we have out now are pretty damn good, so positive changes are hard to feel.

    Have you noticed a "big" difference with the vvt change? I'm too the point where the truck drives so good it's just being picky at this point.

    It holds onto gears better without having to add more throttle input. Like it actually has some grunt to it. It's not a night and day oh my God this is huge... but to anyone who pays attention you'll notice you're not messing with the throttle as much.

    Just in low rpm, high load conditions. Like climbing a hill at 65 mph on the highway and pushing the throttle, it Pulls!
    It is not drastic, but it is better.

    It's definitely more of a drivability improvement than a "performance" improvement, but a much appreciated change nonetheless.

    Before the truck would just be like: f*** it, I'm downshifting... Now it's like: I got this.

    I see that intake valve at 75 degrees. That is what helps! Stock will only get to 65 degrees.

    I'd rather have a downshift at 90% than take it to this condition.
    What I'm wondering is why TF it wouldn't downshift. I reached and passed the shift points!!! And he closed my ticket...

    Very interesting. I wonder how it would be 5.29s as we're normally cruising around 2200 rpm. Guess their is only one way to find out.

    I notice afr at 13.5 that's kind of interesting to see it low like that in closed loop operation.

    If it is opened, should it be using one of those AFR tables?

    Using OBD Fusion what kind of horsepower numbers are you guys seeing under hard acceleration? I can't imagine they're very accurate but I am certainly interested to know what others are seeing.
