Never got a chance to take it to the strip, but I should be in the extremely low 16's if not high 15's.
Whaddya think?

About what size was the connector for the oil pressure line to the guage? I have air shocks in the back of my pickup and one of the lines got torn and the connector is harder than hell to get back on and have it seal

The MAF mod was responsible for at least 15 of the 20 horses I gained, and the exhaust the other 5.
Remember it's still a 2.5" exhaust on a 3.0L engine
If you were to compare to the stock HP curve, they're equal until about 3000rpm, and then mine starts gaining bigtime.
The brass fitting that went to the engine block was 1/2 I think, maybe 3/8. Don't remember unfortunately
You can get the connectors/adapters/etc at Napa (where I got mine), and you should be able to get them at Pep Boys as well. Make sure you use some silicone tape (like for water pipes), else it WILL leak.

what are you waiting for, rice it up. You need a huge rear spoiler

I actually have a spoiler off the same car I got the bumper from. It's just a trunk hugging stock one, I doubt I'll put it on.
Right now all I care about is performance

I've since put on a 2.5" magnaflow straight-through muffler, and a 2.5" magnaflow high flow cat to replace the stock 2" job. Engine's definetely more rev happy, and keeps pulling hard until at least 5500. Pretty happy with it now
Gonna take it to the dyno and track sometime soon... hopefully.
