you miss my question Pimprohr? Just fyi, those are high numbers so kudo's. Took me a couple thousand dollars to get to 274rwhp (E-Fans, Magnaflow Exhaust, rear cats removed, AF1 intake, custom tuned XCal2 at the time, stock tires, underdrive pullies...).

I did miss it. I had CAI, Tuner, and Exhaust. So I really only lacked the E-Fans and underdrive pullies if you think about it.

That may be the slight difference between the year trucks. A lot of people have said that the newer trucks do seem to run a lot better from the factory. This supports that claim then.

E-fans were worth it, pullies no. And this sounds scary but MAKE YOUR OWN KIT. It's incredibly easy, and can be done for 1/4th the cost of the others. I've had at least 10 problems with my efans and they've left me stranded maybe 5 of those times. I still liked the gains and know what to do next time so this doesn't happen (make my own and mount it with zip ties).

However, zip ties do melt once the radiator reaches around 210 degrees and the fans will fall.

Pimp, my question was what kind of camera do you use to take these pics? Not that I could afford one, just want to look out for the camera name when talking to photographers (I talk to them a lot).

Nikon D40 and D80 is all I use. The D40 finds it way into my hands even more than the 80.

Did you dyno with stock wheels? I know you said the wheels are lighter, which is hard to believe, but I know the tires aren't going to be lighter.

I agree ...

Dyno'd with the stock wheels with the Coopers and the new wheels. Both yielded similar numbers. Same dyno, correction factor, weather within a few degrees, and same humidity. BTW, I have been playing aronud with tuning for a few years and have several dyno's at my disposal...I just choose to the Dyno Dynamics because of it's consistancy. Dyno Jet and Superflow being my second choice.

Seems like damn good numbers than. When you were up on the dyno, did you get A/F readings? .. or just do a run for power numbers? I do find Dyno Dynamic dynos are a little on the high side though.

I think i spent less than 110 for a dual 16" fan setup with adj. thermostat, getting all the pieces myself rather than a kit.

can you give me a run down of the parts you used? does your controller activate the second fan with the a/c? any durability problems yet? thanks!
