Thanks for that tip. I just tried it and it takes my screen right to a program I have called PrintKey, which will let me "rectangle" anything on the screen.

Sounds like my graph he sent you. I thought it was around 15rwhp, either way the a/c is a big power robbing accessory when engaged.

If it was on a Mainline dyno then yes it was my truck. Justin and I tested it a few weeks back for the hell of it.

Yep, that was my dyno pull. Thanks for the compliments. That graph we only spun it up to 4xxx something on purpose. The truck is a blast to drive and does put down some good power across the entire rpm band.
