Well the main reason I did the swap was because I wanted the whistle the 03 6.0L turbo produces. It only has 10 blades on the exhaust side verse 12 on the 04s and 15 on the 05s. I was able to pick up 2-3lbs of boost and lowered my temps by about 100 degrees while cruising.

I will say that I seemed to pick up some low end along with a MUCH improved top end, especially after my lift and tires went on. It feels like I am runing just as fast as I was before the lift/tires.

Like I said I felt guilty during your install, I had no idea how to do anything you all were doing but just from watching ya work I learned alot. I wish I would have stayed to see your truck up and runing though, must be something else.
