yup, not sure on hp, but it does seem like it might have added a little more power. mpg wise it looks like I got +1 according to the overhead computer. I havent actually hand calculated it, but it says Im getting about 14.4 consistently when I used to get 13.3-4

shhhheeeet, I feel you there! I have so much to do lol
lol one day itll be complete. one day....

Very nice!
thanks Trup!

Re wired my led strips with speaker wire and put em back in. The wire they come with are real thin and rip too easily, plus they were still out from when I took my dash out 5-52EA-402F-B8BA-E0FBA0181EDD-899-00000109721EB3AA.jpg

Thanks. Im thinking about adding a second switch and having the power come from the speaker wire to the sub so it will light when the sub hits
