Rich, you ought to put your dak on a dyno and see what the stock sbec
does and then do the mp sbec. It would be great to see what real
world numbers the two computers give. I (like a dummy) sent my
stock sbec back for the $100 core charge when I bought it 2 years
ago. I wish I still had it. Hear in Austin it cost about $45 to get
two pulls on a dyno and then its about $8 a pull after that. Its
pretty cool seeing your truck running 100 mph sitting still, and then
you get the print outs of your hp and torque curves plotted over rpm.

Good Luck
Alan...
