Well, got the hotrod VP44 installed late last night. Idle is slightly higher, sounds mean Not sure how to describe it. Power increase is very noticeable by my butt meter.



I happened to be going somewhere with my four boys and my wife after work today and hit a detour on the highway. I decided to take a shortcut not realizing how sloppy the minimum maintenance road really was



After 2 full miles of some nasty mud and melting snow, not to mention getting sucked into the ditch along side the road, we finally made it through without getting stuck. :-laf



The kids were going crazy, loved every second of it Wife was going crazy cause she couldn't even see out the windows:{



Sure glad we made it... . I would have never heard the end of it... .

A couple of weeks ago i was using my truck to round up the g/f's horses. I was using the stock street tires on wet grass with about an inch of mud on top of frozen dirt. I had so much fun drifting my truck across the grass

I had mud CLODS everywhere.

I wish I would have had the camera with me at the time. It looked even better when I was fueling up at a truck stop 5 min after hitting the mud.



When I went in to pay, the gals were just laughing behind the counter. They have someone right down info on each vehicle that fuels up (incase of running off without paying). On my ticket it read:



Make: Dodge truck

Color: Muddy

License: EAT SOOT



They were still laughing when I left. I felt kind of bad leaving about 200 lbs of mud that had fallin' off the truck while I fueled up though.
