Maybe they saw your PA install video.

Isn't there another shop in your area with a dyno? Why can't you go there?

Good. Save your money and take a road trip. Don't you firefighters make about $85K annually? When you get there, the truck will be all warmed up.

There was one on Capital Circle SE past the Dodge dealership but like I said, it was sold. I had my truck tuned by a guy at Jaws Performance which is on Tharpe not too far from Cap Circle SE. He's a Ford-only guy and has quite a few Mustangs and trucks. The nearest "as the crow flies" is in Valdosta, but the best reputable Ford truck tuner/dyno is in Jacksonville

Nah bro, I'm easily into the 350s right now. I just put another sticker on my truck.


Its an "AOPA" sticker so that means my truck will fly when i get to 88 mph
