Thanks Chet... my mistake... looking at it & the one on the Magnuson unit they both appear totally vacuum...
4cfed.... all I can say is that with the frequency the same 4-5-6 mod topics pop up, the point of this forum IS to help each other out & cut through the muck & BS... Everybody's driving style is different, everybody's use of their truck is different. My point is simply that the vast majority of the mods everyone is jumping with both feet on are race only mods.
your comments here are EXACTLY my point:
"i agree with your points on the boost bypass, which is why i havent installed it, but as far as other mods, most of us want to be able to run low 13s at the track if we take it, not 10s like jlp and jdm with the Ls. i think most of the members here have realistic expectations of what they want the truck to do, and also what it can do. think about it - honestly, i think only a handful of hd owners actually have a built motor in their truck, and compared the # of L guys that do, i think it shows that we want to drive our trucks everyday, not on weekends, take the fam out to dinner and a movie, and dust some young dumbass in a import or even a stang or camaro on the way home. thats it. we have more pride in our ownership than 95% of the other clubs that you can find online - a tight relationship with each other. hell, guys are even paying attention to my career and posting it on here. "
the point being that the mod's I listed are the little "final" additions to built engines not basic mods for bolt on trucks.
Call me the "over helper" or the "looking out for everyone" guy...
I get PM's daily from all sorts of people about mod suggestions & they are asking questions based on totally BS rumors, marketing hype, & just plain bad info from supposed "experts. "
I am hardly "picking ouot a few bad examples of things gone wrong"..... at last count 80% of the recently Vented blocks on our forum have 4 of the same mods from the same 3 vendors, maybe there is a correlation?
You got a dyno tune for basic mods in one shot? WHOOOORAY! congrats.... read through the chips/electronic sections here & on the NLOC, you my friend are the complete exception to the rule. Unless you buy a complete package from one vendor including the chip, ain't normally happening.
I like to think that there are better ways to spend money on effective mods, as opposed to doin what everyone else is & wasting money for minimal gains.
