    not too bad at all, I just ran mine for a couple days before allen tuned mine and it ran good. Of course after the tune you can def tell the difference but it'll be fine.

    How is the truck after the tune Rob? I would think you would want to get tuned fairly quickly. other wise I think the MPG will go to crap.

    the mpg's did suffer... a lead right foot dosen't help though. Truck runs great, big improvement for sure, well worth the money.

    You should get a Service Engine light immediately.

    Ran mine for months. Just had SES light. No issues to worry about. Plus nothing beats that boat/gassy smell. IMO

    Ran mine for a couple weeks with stock tune and took few days before the CEL came on. Go figure. Besides that no probs. Sure sounds like a BEAST with the lt's and no cats. I likey!!!!

    Yeah, the test for P0430 and P0420 takes a while to complete because the parameters are so detailed. Plus it has to report failed a few times before the light comes on.
