Thanks Jeremy! She was born at 11:17 this morning, 7lbs 8oz, 21" long. Named her Carli Morgan, no relation to Carli Suspension, lol.

Thanks again guys! She was mostly named after my grandpa Carl but the other Carli had a little influence on the spelling, we just like how it looked. I will tell you that the name "coincidence" certainly made it a lot easier for my wife to approve on over $3k in Carli parts. Lol

verter is in!
I haven't dropped the hammer from a full dead stop yet..........I want to do that where I'm not around a bunch of people.......or cops.
On the highway, getting on it, she shifts a LOT better, quicker, and the RPMs don't drop nearly as much. (hell, on the regular shifting not on the highway either).
I used to have a weird 1-2 shift that you could literally feel the truck almost "stop" and go. Not anymore.
but, one thing I have to get figured out.......and its something that I needed to look into for a while now.....around 35-40mph the truck seems to be searching for a gear. My 3.92s didn't do this.......3.55s, yeah. I'm kinda torn. At 35MPH, in 3rd, I'm around 2200RPM. Thats a bit high for piddling around town.....in 4th I'm around 1400-1600ish.
Hard call, something I'll need to play with there.

Great news on the TC! I really want a new one.
You're running a hemifever tune aren't you? Can he not tune out that trans issue? I know you could with SC...

I'm going to ask him about it. I am sure he can......
The TC is pretty sweet, but I'm second guessing the costs (mainly install, etc). Don't get me wrong, its nice - but......at the end of the day it was a grand out of pocket for it. And, I am pretty sure I have an exhaust leak now, so I have to go back and have them fix that...
