    I have always thought my truck has been lacking in the power and speed department. Especially for the mpg I get. Wondering if I should mess with it and see if maybe I am in valet mode? LOL Anyone know how the valet mode works on this setup. Does it cut power or limit rpm or what? And I am pretty sure if I hit launch mode I would loose another rear end.

    Valet mode limits to 1900rpm so you would really notice if that was the case. Launch mode limits to 3000rpm. I haven't tried launch mode yet either mostly out of fear of damaging something.

    I'm under the impression that it limits the rpms to 2,000

    I may have been a little pessimistic on the numbers. I need to run some more logs and really wring it out to see what numbers I peak at. I was a little cautious on the last run and did not bring to redline. I wanted to get a general capture before I tore it all apart for a compression check. Compression check was good, ~181psi all cylinders on a warm, not hot motor. Believe factory spec is 189psi all within 14 psi and minimum of 140psi. So if I could have measured sooner I would likely have gotten a bit more pressure.
    For the money invested, it would be nice to have 350hp at the wheel.
