    don't polish it yourself.


    There is a guy on ebay that sells a bigger one P&P with adapters for our intake for under $100. I've had one almost 2 years. Comes with stiffer springs, so it feels better, and is way bigger then any p&p can go. If you do it wrong, the truck will idle WAY too high, and cause more problems then it's worth.
    blown transmissions are about as useful as 97% of the guys on this forum

    bypass where the coolant goes through the throttle body, just run it straight to the radiator...just doing this alone is worth at least 0-1hp cant beat it for the price
