What the hell is that guy's problem? If you don't like what he has to say, don't read it. It's that simple.

white 01 - You're seeing 17-18 pounds with a 4# lower, 2# upper, and ported blower all on a stock block? Have you punched it from a roll and run WOT above 100 on the streets? No detonation or anything?

I knew when I posted my results on here that some people would not be satisfied and try to pick apart any little thing they see and stir some stuff up. Hey but that's okay. That's why you will see in my first post I didn't say I gained 64+ HP from my lowest HP reading to my Highest HP reading. I said 50+Hp to be more fair and in the middle. Like Brian said, we tried to be as fair as possible Tuesday comparing the before and after. I truly believe I gained right around 50RWHP and 30TQ after it was all said and done. But hey, if you don't believe me, get a Apten Ported Eaton done yourself and you be the judge. And while results may vary from truck to truck, I assure you will not be dissappointed!
Rock on Apten!

I had the same problems when all I did was swap out my blower - SAME DAY, SAME TEMPS, about 90 minutes apart. The thread I started turned into "no way, not possible... you can't make 13#'s of boost with the factory pulley..." ..etc.

Stop whining already. Just like no 2 people are exactly alike, no 2 trucks are perfectly identical. He was merely posting HIS results as WE all have done.

I did a week ago after I dyno'd with Apten on my stock lower pulley - before and after the ported Eaton. See here

whats wrong....You don't like hearing the facts about the dyno sheet he posted. Again sounds like another sales pitch to me...

Wait I know another guy on here that is porting them and he has picked up 70rwhp. PM me if you would like details....

Call it what you want bud but this mod is by far the greatest yet. If you have not had it done and yourself felt the diference it can make, you have no room to talk

You mislead yourself obviously. I posted my results and never said I gained the 60+HP that one of the pulls was on. To be fair I said 50 which is very fair I think with all the pulls we did.

Look we can sit here and argue dyno numbers all day guys. From the lowest to the highest and before and after. The reason I posted this was not for bragging rights to show this is one of the bigger gains yet but just a general guideline to show you the potential of this mod. For the money it is the best bang for the buck out there hands down I think. This mod has proven itself over and over the last few weeks/months with everybody saying what a world of difference it is. That is the end result. A relatively simple mod that is outstanding!
As far as boost I'm seeing before and after I can't tell you that. I have a stock gauge.
Finally, Let's all work together here and continue to share and improve upon current and future mods for these awesome trucks!

C'mon man. For $600 this mod just don't add up? I would do it again in a hearbeat even if I hadn't even dynoed it to see the gains. Suppose (as some say) my numbers are bogus and maybe I only gained only anywhere from 20-35HP. Is it still worth it? Heck yeah. Trust me this mod will prove itself over and over. -Robb

How does this guy get 60rwhp and tq gains, and another guy posted this week, loss in torque and only 18rwhp gain.

Crappy dyno session, Bad porting Job, Bad tune, or a combination of any of these. I just don't see how you lose any TQ with this mod and HP gain should easily be 20+ especially if you have a lower pulley. Just my thoughts. -Robb
