So Far:
I'm very happy with the performance increases.
a full 2 sec. off my 0-60 times with very limited traction.
I fully expect, as it sits, no other power mods, but increased traction, a mid 5 sec 0-60 truck
I'm on the hunt
partial throttle power is fantastic.
Maybe I should go with a 325/50-20 Rear Tire (33").
We'll see.

Welcome to the family.The only advise I have is to listen very carefully for detonation. Detonation is a motor killer. Also when you do your next test drive with the g-tech make sure to heat the tires very well so they will stick better. Every thing looks and sounds great!!

thanks supercharged!, If by heating them up you mean driving on them a bit, did that. If you mean roasting them and trying again, haven't done that yet. Got the roasting the tires down pat, I just feel like a criminal hanging around to do another run on the same street after making all that racket...................I need a deserted area for about a half hour.

Any SD folks have any suggestions?

That's a good option since you can't rotate your wheels/tires anyway. A 325 width rear tire would not be a problem with your 10" rims.

As far as finding deserted road, you are probably in better shape than most others to find a good spot given where you live. You may just have to take a couple of hours to go do it.

Make sure you foot brake the launch. Get the rpms up some before taking off. It may feel like its bogging down, but the ET will be better. Give it a try.

haven't brake stalled it yet, I'm guessing I'll see more spin, but lots of options to play with, I'm very curious to see if my tires will hold a FULL brake stall, stock it does a 2500rpm stall, with the added power, who knows?

I gotta tell ya, burning up these $$$ tires kinda sucks. I suppose it's a necessary evil though

I called you earlier to give you a ride in it, must have been working
