Initial results are good. The truck drives so much better with the APPS reset. Boost comes on sooner and smoke is down. I like it a lot. Also, steering is definately tighter. It's not wanting to correct itself very much but I'm sure some break in time will allow that to happen. All in all I'm very impressed.

Had to get some coffee before I realized you were refering to previous thread and talking about two different things!

Also up for another meet! If anyone is interested, there is a full moon end of this month.... makes it easier to find the head

Alright guys got some toys in the mail today... I received and installed a TAG upon a gentle nudging from a fellow member … I installed one in-between my primary and secondary turbos. Fit was real nice and although my seat of the pants o meter is not that great to tell a difference in power the turbos were noticeably quieter suggesting that there is not as much turbulence going into the secondary turbo…

My TST Comp upgrade arrived today and it’s safe to say the truck now scares the poo out of me !!! Good lord that box is HOT !! And I now know what pump shudder is… Not too cool

Also… (I was a good day for FedEx) I received a stage II coolingmist water/meth kit (Merry Christmas/ Happy Birthday to me from me!! No spending $$ for a while have to keep some $$ around to feed myself this semester)… Haven’t installed yet (waiting for the cold front) but the kit looks really nice and complete .

From the previous North Tex thread I ripped the back end off of my four wheeler (the first time I wished it was straight axle… Darn CV shafts/ Coilovers/ A-arms) and replaced a top a-arm that was ‘s’ shaped as well as rewelding and gusseting a portion of the frame that somehow managed to be ripped off by the dif… The old grizz is running great again!! I’m ready for some 4x4n!!!

All in all was a good day, my back hurts and I have a whole fridge (not always bad being home) of medication (12oz form) awaiting !!

Ahh yes. I just took one of my medications for the evening. I have a headache after listening to 5 different professor's preach the same rules over and over again.

And your not the only one with new toys. I just scored a spanking new ps62/12 and as soon as I can sell this KSB-1 I'm getting studs and hopefully that guy's stage 2 kit from the classifieds.
