TVS vs Whipple, I really doubt you could do a blind test and tell a difference. Ive had both and they both come online faster than you know what to do with.

Looks like its going great!
Sounds like some self induced pain. LOL.

I don't plan on monkeying with anything. I'll just drive the **** out of it.

Thanks for posting your progress! The whipple looks soo good sitting in there. I am hoping to do a whipple this spring on my 15 RCSB. Looking forward to dyno #'s and how she does as a daily.

Only issue so far is forgetting its there when I'm stopped. If I abruptly hit the gas needing to go (like at a light after not paying attention) it lights the tires up lol. Enjoying it a lot so far and brake stall increased to ~3000 from 2500 in the same weather. Going to the track on Sunday it looks like but gotta post something in tuning to improve shift to 2nd.

Wow I just checked about 2-3 days ago. Thanks! Hesitant to make the trip to Ennis just yet until I'm 100% sure of no issues. Have to see if it rains on the 14th.

Ha Ha These 5.3's are pretty torquey stock, I can imagine what it's like with the Whipple on there. Mine seems a little sluggish shifting @ WOT. My car has T56 so I haven't done any trans tuning. I know my truck could use some tweaking.

That's with 900 lbs in the bed I forgot to add lol. Only problem is once you mess with the tuning they void the trans warranty. Love to see a pic of your truck...bet it's nice!
