Man, where are the pics and write up from the trip you just came back from???

Working on it. It's going to be a few days, though. I took almost 4,000 images that I still need to go through. 

Bummer Jay.

On a positive note, I've moved quite a bit further way from the "maybe" category to the "going" category. Just have one or two last minute logistics things to figure out, but as long as we're still planning to start the trail late Saturday morning, it's looking pretty good for me.

Awesome Rick! I’m interested on how this turns out, esp any help on mpg, dang I’m still only getting 12-13 mostly city

I'm interested to see if those do give you better gas mileage? I seem to be averaging 13.9 right now.

I'll let you all know how it shakes out.  So far, I've only driven one way to work, so I can't factor MPG right now.  However, low end throttle response is definitely improved, and that's not just placebo.  On the highway, there's a spot where the speed limit goes from 60 to 70 and I always have to kick down to passing gear to speed up.  Today, there was decent throttle response and I was able to get up to speed without the kick down.  I can't speak for WoT response or acceleration times, though, because I haven't tested that.
