one... My sister gave me a liceance plate that says Sleeper on it for my birthday...

It is on Nomo's site, so sometimes it isn't up and running. I am working on finishing my site, and I have a SS toolbox now as well as some other minor things. What do you think?

Sharp looking truck Pastmaster, it is always good to see clean pre 97's. Let me know when you get that website up and running. By your description of your exhaust it must sound awesome. Can you gain any power from running just straight pipes? I may have to look into removing my muffler.
Talk to ya later,

yep, Everyone told me I lost too much backpressure...I don't think so. I think I lost high end torque. I didn't notice it myself, but I got headers to finish the exhuast, and I love it! Its fairly quiet, best sound is at 1500rpm, above 2k it sounds like a Dale Jarretts car.

 

Hey pastmaster,
of all those engine mods, which one would you say gave the most noticeable power gain. I am interested in chipping my truck but i want to know if it truly is the best bang for the buck. Thanks,
JB

Well, I got my chip as a present for christmas, when I first got it. I had one of the earliest out.I think? I can't really remember life without it, I need to unplug it sometime and run a week with out it. It supposedly gives you about 2-25 hp and about 30 in torque. The one thing I am beginning to hate is, you have to run at least 91 octane. This gets costly after awile@1.37/gallon right now.

The exhaust gave me the most noticable. I am beginning to notice the effects of the ignition. I got it from a friend who sold his truck last fall. I yanked it before he sold it. So its used. I am getting an average of 20 mpgs on the hiway. The biggest bang for a buck,so I've been told is lower gears. In fact its on my itinerary. 4:10's are the way to go. You would notice the biggest improvement, because of your 33's. Advancing the timing and the TPS mod are cheap($0) mods that will give you noticable gains. I advanced my timing to 14 BTDC, pings slightly. But better throttle responce. I am planning to get new plugs and sidegapp them this summer, and bigger wires will help too. You have the same headers as I do, I just found that out. I think they're the best buy for the money!

 

I am planning on side gapping my plugs this weekend. What is the tps mod and how do you do it? Thanks for the help pastmaster.
JB
