Bhaf and straight pipe

Well tuesday I was looking at my exhaust and noticed a crush clamp in front of the axle. I decided I'd loosen it cut the pipe going over the axle, spin it 180 deegrees and have a home made pre axle dump. Well Easier said then done. After fooling around for about 15 minutes with the clamp and joint I wacked it all off. Wallah!!! straight pipe. I don't know what the previous owner was thinking when he repaired the axle loop with 2 1/4" pipe. Crush bent! Needless to say I picked up some nice topend power. I temped in my BHAF last night with some plastic strap (from my home HVAC install). I picked up power everywhere with those 2 mods alone. And I get some nice turbo sound now. I can here off idle for a change.

I down loaded the pump bombing instructions tonight. I'm seething to get the pyro and housing in there I just need a few more dollars.

I couldn't stand it. This morning I turned the off boost fuel screw in 2 turns. Man what a difference. I now get full boost in the first 10mph off the line. It wouldn't hit full boost before 20mph before. I'm not towing anything right now so I should be okay until I get the pyro and then I turn everything else up. But it sure did wake the truck up.

Yeah, it'll be fine. As long as you don't mess with the main fuel screw and you don't tow things stay pretty cool.
