I got my converter put in locally for 200, I got quotes from 200 to 400 though so I think I got a good deal. I got the Yank 2600 off the shelf, kinda wish I'd have opted for the 3000 now because it doesn't quite stall to 2600. Its still a big difference though, makes it nicer for every day driving IMO and is very streetablek.

I like my Procold intake and my electric fan. Together, they netted me about .7 sec and about 3.5 mph in the 1/4. Plus, the truck gets around 16.5 mpg in the city and about 20 on the freeway @ 75 mph.
