I like mine cause the doors don't shut right, the paint's coming off, and it registered 95 decibels inside the cab while driving down the freeway. Ya kinda gotta jiggle some stuff to start it, but once ya do, mine will get 18mpg in town 20+ on the highway, is just as fast as the 5.slow that I used to have, and I can move all my stuff in it. Plus when you're at the dragstrip and keep up with one of those mufflered out Hondas, people give ya the thumbs up

Your missing the 7" inch stack. That is good for alteast 75hp haha.

Your numbers are quite low. Do you have a fuel pressure gauge installed?

i love the feel of shiftin the old getrag and makin her beller out smoke in every gear, the feel of the torque settin you back in the seat, that and just how she drives, the truck was meant for me, 6'2 and lots of room easy steering, good factory stereo, and the doors dont seal so it wisles like a second turbo. my truck and i have a real connection thought, we were born in the same month of the same year. tell me thats not perfect. 7/91

I'd like to say it's my tuning skills, but I can't come up with a better answer than Brandon's.
