    Put it on a switch and see how it performs. It actually limits the power at the top end.

    I second Ben here, I wouldn't do it, have your tuner edit the file to give you a little more throttle responce instead. (Assuming they actually know what they are doing and arent just downloading a file they stole from someone else)

    Yeah the mileage got better but most of that was probably due to the tuning.

    Do you have a tune? I'd imagine w/o a tune it wouldn't be fun at all to drive. Have one on a E-7 mack and one time i accidentally turned the tuner off (located by the injection pump, just a switch) and boy oh boy it was dead as Jimmy Hoffa

    Spend the money and it'll put a smile on your face
