You could truly drive your truck without ever going wide-open-throttle (Yeah, like that's gonna happen....
) and enjoy much increased performance anyway.
I've got a few thousand miles on mine now, and my truck drives so smooth it's hard to believe. It is always a great pleasure to get in and go, even for the drive to work.

well I got my whipple put on,I'm gonna have it dyno tuned on the 21st of this month.I will post my numbers when I get it done.I hope the tune helps with the boost problems I'm having,If I floor the truck the boost gauge only jumps to 3 PSI and slowly climbs as the truck picks up speed.Maybe some of you other guys can tell me if you get full boost at full thottle??
here's a picture of the whipple
