Sorry, I meant to say the IAT was reading high temp, not high voltage.

I agree that most places do report too high HP and TQ #'s for various mods,
but this is one of those things that's been bugging me more and more over
the past couple of months. Don't get me wrong. I think my truck is pretty
damn fast considering it weighs close to 5000 lb with my 240 lb butt riding
along. It just seems like I should be getting more for the money I've put
into it.
Thanks,
John
