Long time no see, guys! I've been busy with work as usual, but nonetheless the build continues. Finally getting into the good stuff..... Since the last time we spoke, I have had a NOX sensor replaced (emissions related), removed the vinyl between the windows, and had the Synergy Drag Link installed per the V06 recall. Regardless, this weekend will mark the true beginning of my build as I have decided to pull the trigger on "improving". With just a little over 10K on the odometer, I am already fed up with the gov. equipment and the lack of performance that comes with it. On Saturday, I will be installing my (Flo Pro 5" TBE, 6" Stainless Tip, Sinister EGR Upgrade, Sinister Throttle Valve Upgrade, S&B CCV Breather, and hooking up my EZ-LYNK). Needless to say, this is the most notable mod thus far and I couldn't be more amped. For anyone wondering, I will be running CTT** SOTF tunes with their TCM tuning 3.3V. My buddy and I installed this exact same setup on his 18' with phenomenal results, unfortunately that truck has since been totaled but his new one will be receiving the same treatment in a couple of weeks as well.
In the meantime, I would love to have some insight into y'alls experience with "improving" and long term reliability.
Note: I plan to keep her set on "Level 1" (30HP), as I have no desire to smoke the trans or build a race car. (There are better vehicles for that trust me). In addition, I would greatly appreciate it if we could refrain from discussion of any political opinions on such mods. Thanks!
