Thanks...to bad you and I are talking to the monitors :crazy: and no one's listening. :birgits_tiredcoffee

Let's face it, when you pull into the mall lot with a rumpy cam and pop the hood so all your buds can see your airgap, fastman, and stainless CAI tube with tha big cone filter, it makes far more impact than pulling in and telling people you have 4:56 gears.

The difference is when you leave...:birgits_tiredcoffee

Sorry for the threadjack!

I just wanted to get as many opinions as I could. I went ahead and bought a 50mm instead, it'll be better for what I got going on with my engine. And I'm definitely getting a tuner once I can find a good deal on one.

The TB I ordered is beautiful and it was a pretty good deal!

One thing you'll find out about me Colton, is when I give an opinion, I address it as one. Opinions are like ....

Past that, what I offer is belief, based on either lots of field experience, basic engineering, or simple physics.
Experience, also defined as trial and error includes lots of money and time wasted on applications plenty of folks with previous experience and education tried to teach me. So I can appreciate your skeptisim and youthful vigor, equally as much as it might annoy me. :)

You can rest assured that if I take the time to respond to yours or anyones postings, it has been done after some basic research, careful thought and application, or I will not post at all.

Or it might be something completely out of the box silly. Those are usually obvious.

I appreciate the opinions and such, but Al, I thought you were 100% with me getting a TB. You said it would be great for my truck. Didn't I do the right thing by going smaller in size since I don't have big mods done to the engine?

Yes, you should buy the 50 mm. It will wake up your 5.2. And you should save your hard earned money for a SCT after that.
Then you're gonna have to massage out all your dents and paint, because you'll want your truck to look as good as it runs.
