I seemed to have lost a bit of my lowend power. But it does sound alot better. I tlked to Nelson and he said he can tune it, by erasing the O2 sensors and the cat play with the timing to get back the lowend

I would have to say most people who say they lost power, did it on a stock truck. If your making good power, then it becomes a restriction.
