Wow that's not to bad i guess for a pretty much bone stock truck...... I guess the LT's and the cold air would put me at bottom 14's. I think I can live with better mileage and low 14's... Sweet

Do you guys think I should worry about the drive shaft at all? It's not like a I going to be making big power or any thing, but I have seen them fail on the dyno. I wouldn't think the ocasinal DR pass would hurt, what about buzzin up to 120 or so now and again?

That's where you might end up in trouble; above 100 you're crossing the imaginary line in terms of what the rotational limit of the driveshaft is. I shut mine down at 100, but if you're determined to go past it, I'd suggest at the very least putting a hoop over the driveshaft, just so you don't take out a muffler or gas tank or pole vault the truck if it does twist in half.

So if I wanted to replace the drive shaft would I have to have one made? It's going to drive me nuts thinking about that weak link turnin my tires! Lol

Thats cool, how does it feel in first? I hope I haven"t built it up to much in my mind and disappointed when it's done. The way everybody talks it really wakes them up....... Tomorrow is the day, I am ready!

well i notice a different from stock to superchiped.. but notice more of a different from superchiped to tune... your rpm goes all the way down 6000 rpm etc... plus i got a vette servo and i love it lol.... 2nd to 3rd shift is 100 times better and stronger etc... plus the truck feels lighter...
