    Yeah man, you are gunna love it. Like David said--drive it however you usually do. Your truck is broken in, so the comuter needs to "learn" its new ways of thinking... Drive it easy or hammer the dog crap out of it...doesn't matter!

    bro once you get those headers you'll feel the difference... did you get the performance tune? if so then save for headers cause you'll need them, engines gotta breath and the stock manifolds just aint letting it happen

    and shaved 6 tenths off my quarter
