    With midgrade or premium fuel you would be looking at about 30-35 HP and TRQ gains to the wheels. Of course the bigger tires take alot of power away, but you will still notice the difference. Let me know if you have any other questions. You can either PM me or call me @ 210-626-0278.

    Thank you,

    a) no swearing :-p

    b) I think I'm one of (5?) guys with 'big' tires on here. I can still spin em A tune is a real good mod for the $, I have a nelson tune, did wonders for the truck. Intakes, underdrive pulleys, electric fan conversions, all help with power, and can be had relatively cheap. For more money, gears are best way to help performance. Then you get into cam/heads/nitrous/turbo/etc lol.
    blown transmissions are about as useful as 97% of the guys on this forum

    ^Word!

    Tune, exhaust, and gears here and I love the way mine performs. It's no drag truck by any means but does very well for lifted truck turning heavy 37's....

    I noticed a big difference with the tune, granted Im still not spinning tires off the line though.

    Im hoping to fix that soon with headers and 243's, need to get ahold of allen to see what that sgonna run me and how long it will take.

    You will feel gears, spray, and tune the most. I think exhaust, efans, pullies you feel a little up top.
