Thumbs up Fun day on the dyno in Meridian Idaho!

Got back an hour or so ago from the Idaho Bombers dyno event in Meridian, near Boise. My last trip there was 2 years ago, with the stuff in my sig, except then I had the Smarty stacked with the Comp, this time, the Smarty was history, and I have a DTT stainless steel intake installed:



Naturally, I was interested in seeing what the trade-off might be power-wise - and was NOT disappointed! Results were:

Added 4 HP
Added 6 ft. lbs Tq.


Nothing earth shattering in power or torque - but they ARE *gains* over the previous runs, not losses, and results I am VERY happy with - and the DTT intake/Smarty trade was, for me, a good one!

The new numbers are in my sig - guys frequently want to know what power increases can be obtained with various mods - mine are below - and give excellent results whether looking for stoplight to stoplight improvement, or towing relatively heavy up a steep grade - I can instantly select a Comp setting that totally controls smoke, while delivering excellent power AND economy - or go all out for those "Ford encounters" - and NEVER have to keep my eye glued to the EGT gauge in the process!

Gotta LOVE these trucks!
