I am actually right in Mooresville.

I have to make the drive from Hope Mills just outside of Fayetteville but its worth the trip.

Did you notice any significant increase when you dropped on the LSXRT, by the way? I'm running a TBSS intake right now and am wondering if the expense is worth it. I mean, asthetically the LSXRT looks much nicer under the hood, no doubt but does the cost/benefit justify it? Did you install it yourself or did you have PCM do the install?

I had the cam, tune, lsxrt, and everything done at the same time, so I can't tell you how much it might of made. Truck loves to rev, and from what I took away the lsxrt loves higher rpms. I also added a 90 mm tb at the recommendation of Alvin. I had them install because I have read concerns about vacuum leaks, this way I don't have to worry if a problem should arise.

Haven't posted to this in a while but...after ruining two version of my 4l60e I'm have an 80e built right now locally using a Jake's Stage III kit & the Circle D Triple disc is in its box in my garage waiting for the install. Should be going in next week. I know I'll suffer a bit on take-off with the 80e but having something solid that can take more than what I'm pushing HP and TQ wise is going to give me great piece of mind. Pics of the swap to come.
