intake and exhaust worth it?

LinearX,
I'm pretty sure they're entirely different injectors. One originated in Washington and the other in Arizona. Supposedly, these injectors are from DC. I'll believe it when I see it. The thread names the Az dealer. Someone curious enough could easily call and get the scoop, I suppose.
I agree that an enhancement DC stands behind is just what is needed. Good luck with that!!!

Now that you posted that a link to that thread, I recall reading that. I'm not sure if these are the same "miracle" injector or not. It seems that the ones from the link I posted haven't quite lived up to the claims of more power without more EGT, however.

I installed an Airaid filter and their MIT (air tube) plus an Aeroturbine right behind the cat on my truck and can say I'm happy with the quicker turbo spool up, exhaust sound and have seen an increase in mileage. (up to 15.5 from 14's, still wishing for better) my two cents worth. I'm waiting it out for a while before adding a box and gauges. good luck with your decision!

I installed an AirAid, made my own Torque Tube and installed a 51" Nelson muffler 86131. Throttle responce seem better. No huge HP, but didn't expect any. Just want the EGT's to run cooler while towing. Didn't notice any sound difference with the intake and Torque Tube. The Nelson muffler has a great sound outside buy quiet inside.

I also have the same truck configuration. I have been trying to get to the track for a 1/4 mile base line time for the last 5 weeks. I will try again soon. I did get a couple of dyno pulls, showing 280 and 282 RWHP.
14s 1/4 mile is also my goal. I have been told that I will probably have to do Trans/Tourque upgrade to consistently launch and run 14s.
Let me know your progress.

I bought my truck to tow a 40' Teton. It's really big. The day after I bought it I went to Arizona and towed my trailer over 600 miles, some of that over the Rockys. These trucks are made to tow and I did it stock with NO gauges. I have since upgraded to help with the truck's air intake and exhaust. I just ordered the X-Monitor to see what it has been doing all this time I've been towing.
IMHO, I can't see a stock truck exceeding it's EGT's, all the time, if you're not towing anything. That would defeat the whole purpose of buying a truck and spending all that money. Good Luck with whatever you do in aftermarket applications.
