Hey there people!

I have some cash I want to throw into the ol' 6.0L and need your opinions. Should I get a BBK 80mm throttle body bolted on for $400 or a Granatelli MAS for $270?

 

Both claim a 10 hp gain but I've heard nothing but BAD things about Granatelli.

 

Thanks!

Eddie

Neither.

You do not need a larger t-body unless you are going to add forced air induction such as a blower.

It is well known where I run the Grannitelli MAF's are a RIP. You do not need a hi dollar cold air intake either. A K&N will help a tad much cheaper. I have seen a before and after dyno run that resulted in just under 2 HP at the wheels on a non forced induction vehicle. At over $200.00, it's a rip.

Note: Before installing a new K&N element I let is sit overnight indoors, covered, on some news paper incase there is too much oil in it. Then after a couple of weeks remove my MAF sensor and carefully clean the elements with contact cleaner. Any oil build up on it will make the MAF lie to the pcm with negative results. After that it's good to go until it needs servicing.

 

A Nelsonperformance.com tune is the best money I have spent. Allen Nelson is great. The install is simple. If you make another mod, tell him and he will ship you another pcm adjusted to it for shipping only. I used to run a Predator hand held programmer. I truly wasted my $$$$ in comparison. I used it to monitor and record my diagnostics of my first tune. Then I sent him the results and he used the info to dial in another pcm to get me spot on. I got the 93 octane tune. I am getting better gas mileage now too. You should get at least 25 more HP at the wheels. He also owns a dyno. He has tuned may trucks like yours.

This will wake your truck up big time. Call and talk to him about your application. He is a busy fellow so an email reply may be slow but it will come.

You will be glad you did. Believe me, I have done all the wrong things before getting this Tune.

      New car smell air freshener

      I found an odor eliminator spray that neutralizes unwanted smells pretty well. Using it with the car's AC running helps to distribute it evenly around the cabin.

      WTI futures / speculation is just that. WTI futures <> current 4-7% inflation and national average gas price over $4.00/gallon.   The spot price, at delivery, is currently $87-$95/barrel which is why gas prices remain high.   Edit: oH mY gOd mEnTaL BrEaKdoWn In tHE pOsT aBOve mInE.

      He does, actually. In another unrelated video he mentions the president called him in the middle of the night to relay some information on a cause (religious based) that he's invested in. Glenn expressed concern that another leftist administration could wield too much power with some procedure the Pentagon was using, classifying certain religions a certain way. Being that he is LDS (Latter Day Saints), he gets hate all the time from ALL over the political spectrum, so he's invested in this. Trump called him back at 5AM to tell him he had made some changes to that classification.   So, yes, they are and have been in contact regularly since the start of the administration. Glenn, of course, always asks his permission before discussing anything on the air.   I already spent an hour or more just searching for these videos. I may have my numbers wrong - I'm not a numbers guy. It may have been a MILLION barrels, not 1.5. The point is, our President, by his actions, gives a crap about America, and US - this is completely OPPOSITE the actions of the prior administration who projected hatred for anyone who wasn't following the left's edicts in lock-step.   Remember, they called January 6th an "Insurrection", when there were ZERO weapons among the crowd, undercover FBI agents agitating the crowd, along with paid leftists acting as aggressors, egging the crowd on in an attempt to whip everyone into a frenzy. It's all been proven.  Pelosi refused Trumps request for more National Guard troops. This smells 100% like an inside job for those with critical thinking skills. Only a handful of guys in the crowd got wrapped up in that, thankfully, but EVERYONE was searched out based on cell phone data, and charges were brought against many. And 6 or so people were locked up and left in solitary confinement for YEARS with ZERO due process!! If you give the slightest crap about our Nation, REGARDLESS of your political leanings, this should frighten you to your core. This is what men suffered, bled, fought, and died against 250 years ago!   This has gone FAR BEYOND left vs. right. This is a  threat to America, and our way of life. This is PRECISELY why Trump, a BILLIONAIRE who could have chosen to take Melania and sit on some tropical island that he could afford to buy himself and RELAX, instead chose to run for office, get hate from literally every corner of the media, get ATTEMPTS on his LIFE constantly, and begin to repair some of the severe damage that's been done to this Great Nation.   I don't know why I bother wasting my precious time here. Everyone has their minds made up. They won't realize we all were correct until it's too late ... after they elect another tyrant that hates America to office (Obama), or another puppet whose administration is secretly running the show behind the scenes (Biden).
