    I forgot to post up my thoughts and gains. I’m on 285/80/17, 3:73’s,winch bumper, skids, canopy, sleeping platform. and a N/A engine. Daily driving to work I was pulling 17.5-17.8 mpgs. Up from 15.75-16.25 before the cam gears. Loaded down with my camping gear driving across the state over Mt. passes I still pulled 16.5. I’m tuned, 18mm intake spacer and cam geared. Worth every penny. The gears were as noticeable gain in power as the tune. Not crazy OMG it’s race truck but noticeably different. Mpgs were figured miles X .20 for tire size difference divided by gallons on full tanks. The 17.8 was 93 non ethanol with easy highway and freeway driving trying to baby it for max mpgs. I was pissed I waited so long to install them after having them lay around for a couple months. Worth every penny and definitely not snake oil. I got 14.5 in the trails. I had a panic attack are installing them thinking I messed up and @mightytacoman was right there to help me sort it out. I was golden, but over thought it.

    Not that I know of. I had logs showing approximately 20-30hp gain based off of increase in MAF. However my logs should be taken with a grain of salt as I have a highly modified 1grfe

    I actually used a double wrench method with a long bar over the top wrench for extra leverage while my dad held the intake cam in place. That shit was so hard on thee I actually ended up decking myself slightly in the face once the bolt broke free on one of them. It's wild how tight those bolts get after 100K. :laugh:

    As stands I am actually in a position where I may throw this thing on a Dyno just to see what sort of power output it has. I may do it in the coming days or in the next week. So if I do, I'll be sure to throw up a picture on here of the results, however, just like you Kelby, my Dyno would have to be taken with a grain of salt because like several on here I'm far from OEM 1GR territory at this point.

    Haha, I decked myself too!! BUT... 200k miles and no helper lol. Definitely was more careful on the other side and wife didn’t notice the fat lip so I guess it wasn’t that bad

    I used the ratchet strap and a 3’ chunk of 2”x2” tube stock method. When the first one popped free I thought I had spun the wrench on the bolt or snapped it off. I was pulling hard enough I thought something was gonna break or I would start dragging the truck sideways across the shop.

    It's because you are pulling so hard that the moment the stupid bolt breaks free it totally like let's go suddenly. It's scary, but funny too. :p

    I was a solo operation so
    I was solo on this one so it didn't help matters at all.

    Double wrench snipe is badass territory.

    Double wrench snipe is just wild man. I must say that was an interesting experience.

    This, I started selling them because urd refused to sell them individually and would only include then with the uconn system. After I had sold 50 or so sets of these, urd came around and decided to sell them individually. So if someone is in a hurry to get a set, that's the way to go right now. If I can get ten interested parties, I'll do a group buy on them and save everyone some money.

    I'm in, I like that you use OEM gears, URD website if I'm reading correctly uses aftermarket.

    I’m in for a set on the group buy if it happens! One question though, will these make me fail smog? I didn't read through the entire thread. Sorry for my ignorance.
