well i have only done a little driving as of yet. it seems to feel pretty responsive to the go pedal. up hill is definitly different. i feel that the $18 i spent on ebay was worth it. what a cheap and awesome upgrade. i wish i had better gearing to really feel the potential of the truck. it wasnt so hard to put in. i wish i had a better pair of needle nose to hand on to the spring when putting it back in. i really lucked out by finding all the "top hat" parts when the sring slipped the first time i tried i think ill turn the full power screw in a little now. i have heard some people remove the star wheel all together, what are some of your thoughts on this, what does it feel like compared to bottoming it out? if your still thinking about doing the spring i would vote do it already! i dont know jack about mechanics and i was able to figure it out. and i got the part in about a week on ebay. have fun

I like my spring too. I turned the fuel screw in less than 1 turn, but holy crap! different truck. Really fun running it up to 30 in 2nd gear, although it is probably not recommended. Need to get a wastegate actuator and actually use my wastegate. I wanna put it back on our dyno but it'll peg the boost gauge. EGTs aren't bad, especially considering I have an IC (model) truck without an IC. lol
