I had Andy install my kit this morning. It took him some extra time on the call-in to get the programming download, but otherwise went fine. I was there for about 3 hours, but was only charged for one. I gave Andy a little extra for being thorough.
The change is dramatic. Not only does it pull a lot harder, but the routine start and stop response at low throttle feels crisper. On the drive down, max boost was 14 on the gauge. On the drive back it went as high as 21 and frequently was at 17-19 when I put my foot in it. So far, I am very pleased.
The only down side is that 3rd gear pulls you into the big citation range in a hurry.
Tuanies, thanks for the recommendation.
BTW, I'm not sure how much guys are paying now for kits from Crate Engine Depot, or other places. I got mine dellivered to my door for $552.50 from Fred Beans GMC in Limerick, PA. Eric there said that he would offer that price (15% off) to anyone else who wanted it. http://fbgmclim.fredbeans.com/parts/order-form.htm
