I haven't been on the dyno or track since to do run after run and really feel that loss in timing but from everyday drivin the truck feels like it is running smoother and breathing a little better...it could all be in my head though.

Thanks Huitt, I was hoping you'd see this since you were one of the inspiring members to do it in the first place!

I was thinking about adding another radiator similar to what you have done in addition to the factory roush set up. Ending up with two coolers.

Good job, thanks for the inspiration
