Well guys, after many many days of studying on which intake to get I finally decided to go with a BHAF. Then I was looking on ebay and found the AEM Bruteforce for a great price (not much more that I would have paid for BHAF and pre filter). Got it yesterday and installed it asap. Looks sharp and sounds great. Dry flow filter. Install was simple:thumbup2: I did notice a bit of improvement in acceleration and truck seems to wanna go a little more. Over all I am very satisfied with it. Just my .02. Just thought I would give a simple review for anyone thinking of getting it. I cant say if its any better or worse than BHAF since I have not tried BHAF as of yet but I…

Well I pulled a small hill yesterday using a tune I wrote that brings the CAN BUS in pretty quickly on the Quad Adrenaline. This combined with Mach 4's (Flux 150 inj) think his 2700 ml/min is similar to most 7x.010's and saw 38 just barely rolling into the go pedal. I am guessing 38-40 lbs of boost would be the max for head gasket longevity? One surprise was that my EGT's are really reasonable at 900-1100. Seems like it starts barely slower vs RV275s like maybe one second on the key. Idles great. Also everyone talks about the sac nozzles being louder at idle but mine is slightly quieter. Thanks

I've kind of hijacked a couple threads talking about temperature/pressure gauges and their accuracy. Some say that mechanical gauges are more accurate, others seem to believe electric with sensors are just fine. My current gauges are isspro black face and bezel and red pointer. Want to stay with same looking gauges. Sounds like the electric gauges with sensors opperate well below the standard battery voltage with some kind of regulator. So what are your recommendations? Electric or mechanical?

So I am ready to upgrade my lift pump but I am torn between electric and mechanical.... Electric pros are slightly lower cost and I can run pre and post filters on the pump The mechanical pump I like more but it seams you can only run the stock filter housing and I'm not to comfortable with that idea.... What are your thoughts are there different filter options out there that I am not seeing for the mechanical? I'm looking at the gdp fuel boss if that changes anything

Warmer weather's here... driving the CTD today... watching the mpg rise on the overhead (it's pretty close on my stock truck). Went from 15 to 16 today... same load of fuel. I'm figuring it for decent IAT. Last summer I nursed it up to 17.5~6 (with 4:10 gears).Russ

Right now I have it set at level 3 with a low boost level also at 3. Where do you have your's set at?Thanks in advance !! ;)

I'm on my third lift pump and I noticed today that my tank is sucking in on itself. I switched back to an Oem style while my new Holley is being warrantied. This all started when I noticed that I could pull my PF gauge down to 0psi, swapped in another pump and same deal. Can I really be sucking that much fuel through 7x12s? Like enough to suck my tank in on itself?

New member to the forums fellas but I have been quietly reading for a few years. I'll start out with what I have. I have a 01 24v 6 speed. She has quadzilla adrenaline 4k, intake, intake horn, exhaust, necessary gauges, fass 165, and studs. Also has 190k miles A few months ago my pedal would just go dead and after contacting a few local guys and reading I decided it was TPS. Well now that I replaced it with a new one when i set the quadzilla to level 10 at around 2500 rpm she begins to shudder terribly until I either floor it or let off. It never this to me until I replaced the TPS. When i drop it to stock on the tune there is no shudder. …

Found these injectors on Ebay from from a shop called Pensacola Diesel, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200587208258&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT#ht_550wt_1167. You know the old saying, you get what you pay for, so this price scares me a little. To good to be true for that price? Anyone have experience with that shops parts?
