so tonight is the first cold night we've had since winter around here. let me tell ya'll somethin, ive never driven anything like my truck tonight. its a night/ day differance. when i brought it out this past spring it was still mainly stock. i installed catless mids, a flash, a intake and removed my IAC (idle air control) and the truck is a animal in the cold. i left a parking lot where i was, stepped on it, and spun 1st bad, shifted to second and spun completely through 2nd. NEVER has it done that. with the mods it never felt this good, but now i love it. just want to say, gary, dc, you guys rock. the mods made a world of differance in the cold :rock: now to finish my single turbo setup :D.
 
I understand exactly what you mean...Today was the first dry day the temp was under 88..(73 today..50s this evening) with low humidity since I bought this truck....seems like another 40 horses have appeared....:rock:
 
Took my Viper out tonight - Around ~50 degrees.

Moved out in 1st, shifted to second, got up to about 50 mph, hammered on it, went sidewayz.:eek: :D ;)

Marc is correct...........we have a mtn thats over 10k feet, they get snow up there in the winter........I have had a snowball fight on Maui before!:)

GF's sister lives in Kula elevation 4k feet and they have a fireplace which keeps the house warm in the winter...........their house feels like a mountain cabin ..... its very cool!!

But I do have the 4.88's which will burn first and second into oblivion!:burnout: at sea level!!

Hamr.........I was funnin, I am sure you had a big grin the entire time!!:D

If I understand this correctly,you plugged the opening in the manifold but left the sensor connected to the wiring ?:confused:
