I will also need to follow up, as someone here said it was on 91 but i think it was only 87? This was the first tank from when i picked up the truck, and i was with the dealer when we filled up with 87. Not enough miles to think it was emptied and filled with 91. So i'd say these are #'s with standard 87 fuel.
I was just going by what Adrian emailed to me when I said 91.

Given i was surprised by 87 as well, perhaps Adrian thought that since it was turbo it required 91?

It can run off both, but gets better power under 91.

If I had an EB, I'd be getting one of these!

Looks like they could be ready as soon as next week, hope to get it on before a short tow out to the track with my Miata. See how it sounds with a bit of load on the drive.

I think the gains are reasonable. Would love to try one out but don't want to spend $ right now. Maybe in a few months. Need some dyno runs and vid clips.

well i had a guy say he could check it but i had to press the button to clear it. my rigged intake came apart a little while i was driving so i thru codes and i didnt have my tuner with me so i just went there to have them cleared.

Picked up the intake today, Injen actually installed it while I was there as well.

Power feels good, but not a huge seat of my pants kick, but SUPER smooth powerband it seems. Sound is just a bit more whistle when getting on it on the HWY, no crazy sounds at all.

will get a better feel tonight perhaps, had a pallet jack in the bed and didn't want to get crazy with it in there.

Any chance of getting a video clip? Also any updates.

It shouldn't effect your warranty any different than it effects everyone else' warranty. I think we've been through it time and again about how your warranty can't be voided just because you have aftermarket accessories. If that were the case, then we would all be at the dealership getting oil changes, for fear that synthetic oil + K&N Filter would void our warranty.

Most of the companies are in Southern California. You'll also need to be able to leave your truck with them for up to weeks at a time. Plus, you'll have to sign a waiver holding them harmless in the event that they mess up your truck. So pack your bags and move to Beverley, Hills that is. Swimming pools. Movies stars.

My last car was gone more than i had it in the first couple years of ownership, did testing/R&D/Prototyping for 13 companies....not exactly why you get a vehicle usually. That was it for this one, though all the tuning companies are in Florida or i'd be all over that.

I work for an aftermarket company and work on getting test vehicles in all the time, so i try to help out where i can as well. I'll have some time this weekend for vids, might try to hit the dyno Friday as well if they have a spot open. If i don't track my car on Sat i'll take the truck out and get some vids from the guys there.
