If you want to verify your gains
Do before and after on two different dynos.

Re: 4.8L Performance upgrade options

Then you can get a very good idea of what the difference is in given rev bands. Good point. Lack of acces...

It appears from my research (I have a lot time on my hands :blonde: ) that the supercharger option version is the most effective from o...
