Incredible !!!!!!!!

I just returned from a test drive . If you want your truck to be responsive you need to get one. I was concerned the throttle was going to be like having the Comp box on level 5/5, very touchy. Not at all. I took off on my normal route and this truck rocks. When I took off I was not sure I had an increase in power, until I gave her a little peddle and I was gone. Throttle response is not real touchy, you need to accellerate smoothly. I spun the tires, when I wanted to . The fun factor just went up. I reduced injector size from 150hp to 80hp, it feels as if I have the power back. WOW!!!!

Marco, this is definately worth the wait. Thanks, Sam.

progress report

It's great seeing these enthusiastic CaTCHER reports comming in. I've been running mine now for 7 weeks & 3,300 miles. I'm not having any problems with throttle sensitivity or any thing. It just takes a little time to adjust to. My worst milage for a tank of fuel was 17. 15 towing about 7. 000 lbs. My best tank ran 23. 4 about half at steady highway cruise. I never use full throttle as my clutch is not up to the challange. 2/3 throttle is enough to keep ahead of one of those new supercharged Impalas.

Every time I see another report from a happy customer

I'm all..... Oo.



Thanks,



Marco

P. S. WHY does a wife NEVER understand that his boy needs a new toy from time to time????

 

[Murle]

If we only bought what we needed we would not every have anything we wanted. I did not need a wife, but I wanted one. :-laf



Asked my wife why she need 20 pairs of shoes? She said she did not need them, but that she wanted them... ... . I did not need a CaTHER but I want one and got it... .

 

[darkhorse]

I "needed" the CaTCHER to improve my fuel economy..... My wife decided she didn't "need" me so now she's gone & I only have to consult with my check book. :-laf

Toys

My truck is an expensive toy.

My boat is more expensive than my truck.

My wife is by far the most expensive toy I play with... :-laf :-laf :-laf



Hey let's hope she does not see this MSG... :-{} :-{}

Gutsy Marco. Let's hope my wife doesn't see your message too!

 

[Murle]

Marco... What is your wife's e-mail address. . :-laf :-laf

If it's a stock clutch, you may overpower it

 

[darkhorse]

I'd say try it both ways, but like Bob says, you may over power your stock clutch.

 

[Murle]

With my box which is the same thing as the VA, I really could not tell the difference with or without it. I suggestion is unplug it throw it behind the seat and you will never need it again once you install the CaTHER.

 

[Black-Smoker]

I have a new Southbend clutch in the works so I am not worried about that. I was just wondering what my next step is to get some more power out of the beast? I ordered some dd2's my next step it think is a bigger turbo and mabye some sort of fueling box but i dident know which one would work best.



Thanks for the help guys.

I just got done with installing the CaTCHER in a 2001 5 speed,275 small horses ,Install 1/2 hour,The test drive was great,throttle,go peddle was just right,power when you need it,the motor will do the same job at 1/4 throttle as of 3/4 throttle before,and the cruise works perfect. Thanks Marco & The big D

I like when everything works out fine.
