Got my Expy back today from the tuner and my shift issue is cured.:pepper::pepper: For those who have not followed my other thread where I have been biotching about it, it has been cutting fuel on full throttle upshifts. Its makes for a really lazy, slow, nose diving shift. Anyways now it pulls hard right through the shift. Should help me with my e.t. significantly. :pepper::pepper::pepper:

Also had him change mass air sensor for one rated for more hp as my "stock" lightning meter was a hair from being pegged. Now I have surging issues to replace my shifting issues!! :( Well this should be easily fixed in the tune for those that know what they are doing. (Not me- yet :))

Oh yeah.... a modified late model chevy pickup with at least exhaust and tires tried to play tonight at a stop light.. I gave it just enough gas to keep up for a couple seconds before I punched it. Im sure he could hear the blower screaming as I pulled away. :flamingdevil:

Its kinda funny. My expy is surging a bit (due to new mass air) when I slow down and stop. Im sure he heard the surging exhaust and thought that P.O.S. ford wants to play?! Sure.. OK

I will try and get new videos sometime. Maybe from the track! Im kinda excited to take it now.. If I can get a decent full throttle pass I think I will lower my e.t. significantly!! :pepper::pepper::pepper:

I love takeing on tahoes specially when they start revving up and the exhaust starts to crackle and pop. my exhaust is not all that loud but once I hit the gas they cant keep up with me. only thing i can say is Im never attempting to race a diesel F350 again if I see stacks. our trucks are fast and maybe toms expedition can take on a diesel but with no supercharger bad idea lol

Back when I was pretty confident I would never be in a fullsize 4x4, sort of a MPG prude, I rocked that. I was 33 then, had my 21 year old Blonde well endowed girlfriend riding shotgun. THere was a re occurring issue with the rear 02.

Sitting at a light, a little baller in his civic pulled up next me, 18's, exhaust, I could hear the intake, unsure what else was done. The car was 98-99 maybe? new enough then (2003 or 4) I am sure there was still significant lien.

Back to the 02 issue... I was cracking my throttle, listening, there was a pitch change when the 02 quit. Decided it was fine, then he cracked his throttle... wait, what? Okay... let off in 3rd @65, we were ina 35 zone 4 lane road, but in town nonetheless... I had him by two car lengths @65. his skirt was laughing at him, and pointing at me. He looked angry as he blew by me....
