    Im not trying to put up big #'s its just if its off 15 or 20 hp I may never know what i gained from the efi live tune vs the ppe tuner I had because i had smaller tires on then. I'm just asking if it would make that much difference and if its worth the trouble of getting the old tires and stock...

    Question: Hp vs tire size

    What would be the difference in RWHP with 285's vs 265's ? I know there is some but I'm not experienced enough to guess, just looking for a ballpark estimate. Thanks!

    Moving to Efi Live

    I dont remember his name, but I talked to a fellow @ Alligator. He said he didnt know much about the spades just the scan 2 stuff! It seems tailor made to my set up I'm excited to try it out. I'm gonna ask that the level 1 better than stock tune be switched with a lope tune! LOL!!

    LB7: oil is black in one day is this bad?

    I'm curious why it gets so black in the first place? I'm still somewhat diesel Retarded as far as the new ones go! I have had a few built gassers and the oil never got black! I'm just wondering what we can do to keep it cleaner?

    Switching to synthetic

    Question: Rancho Shocks

    Hello , I put a leveling kit on my truck a few years ago and have since kinda wished I didnt do to the fact it made the ride more rough. I found out that the stock shock travel isnt much with it lifted 2.5 or so inches. I bought 4 new Rancho 5k's for a 4" lift so maybe I'd get a softer ride. My...
