Almost forgot...
I'll be watching the MPG as well between the trips to see if it changes.
(Fuel will be refilled after each 75-100miles to get an accurate reading.)

Subject: DML: WooHoo!! Billet TB Installed
Ok...so i'm a "gleaming" a little bit. I received the Billet Throttle Body
from Bruce today and I have to say...that's one NICE piece of equipment.
The installation went almost without a hitch (sorry Bruce, I had to change
out the throttle cable post) and she fired right up (Yup...reset the
compooter as well).
I haven't had a good chance to really "Get on it" due to the rain, but she
does idle much smoother and the pickup is almost instantaneous. (Hey
Bruce...I love what you did with the IAC port...very clever.)
Once this rain lets up a bit, i'll see if I can't get in a G-Tech run...if
not, I have a small strip that I can clock myself by using the existing land
markers at start/finish points under WOT.
Here's the plans:
(1) Drive the truck for about 75-100miles
(2) Dyno runs with Billet TB
(3) Install old (stock) V8 TB, Reset Computer, drive for 75-100 miles
(4) Dyno check again
(5) Install old Magnum Performance V6 TB (SuperBore 250), Reset Computer,
drive for 75-100 miles
(6) Dyno check again
(7) Install Billet TB one more time , Reset Computer, drive for 75-100 miles
(8) Dyno check for the last time for a results comparison
All of these runs will be done with Chevron Super Unleaded, one can of NOS
Octane booster, and the 9# Powerdyne Pulley. This will take about 2-3 weeks
for completion so don't ask me before hand about the results.
Tony (QuickD)...if you want to send me one of your V6 TB's I can do a few V6
TB Dyno runs as well...I have a stock V6 TB readily available and will only
run it against the MP and Stock V6 TB.
