Before taking it in the truck was getting 13ish.

The majority of what we took off was put on for California emissions rulings. I mean, the damn filter in the exhaust that was sprayed with fuel to clean it... sounds like a ridiculous idea, doesn't it? Yay!! Let's take a vehicle that already doesn't make awesome fuel mileage and let's dump some randomly [usually when you NEED it].

I have the opportunity to put it on a dyno within the next month... I've never dyno'd a truck before.

It's plug and play, not bolt on. Right now I'm not even on the top setting and the response is more than dramatic.

Nice. From what I've read they are tied for the top spot for tuners of the 6.4L.
