Today Clay (Red 92) removed the blower from my truck to see how oily the IC was and how much oil was in the IC galley. All I can say is I was shocked. I have about 28,000 miles on my 03 and it was saturated. The rotors are also flaking....to the point where almost all of the teflon is gone. It took forever with he and I both working to get the plenum, TB, IC and galley clean.

But after it was all said and done it was a thing of beauty. He also made sure that there will be no more oil going where it shouldn't be in the first place.

But did he stop there? Noooooooooo!!!!! He hooked me up with this fine hooker named Tina.....just kidding.....

What he did was hook me up with an SCT programmer (practically brand new) and I mean dirt cheap...helped me install a 4lber, loaded the tune and gave me a crash course in how it works. All I can say is it sure is nice to have a Lightning! I must say that my truck has never ran better or smoother. It just sounds solid and feels like a totally different truck.

On the way back to Corpus I just sat back and enjoyed the drive. Didn't even turn on the radio so I could listen to the nice tone of the Maggies.

Clay the truck ran and still runs fantastic. Not one problem. I took it nice and easy during my trip home. I only did 43 WOT blast to 140...J/K bro

So thanks again!!!! I owe ya big time.
