784s are in! Much smoother idle, runs great just as expected. The spectre intake, bored throttle body and 784s perform so much better than stock! Couldn't be more happy

Well I'm about to have 4wd again! It's only been a week but I missed it. Boostwerks linkage has arrived and I'm very impressed with the quality!

How are the instructions with it? Been wanting to pull the trigger, but haven't done it yet.

I would say the instructions are very straight forward. I highly recommend it, the quality is better thank was expecting. I'll be installing it tomorrow morning and I'll post up how it feels!

Where you get your throttle body?

I like it a lot! I installed it in the lowest hole like the instructions said and it worked great! I love that I can adjust it just by spinning the rod. I want to get it a little tighter for a more firm shift. Overall, well worth $45!

It took me about an hour total to get the old stuff removed and the new one dialed in, not too long!

cool, i have nothing but time anymore, this whole being disabled thing is very very strange to me. I currently only have 4Hi and that's even sporadic, thus the new linkage. since i know the overly complicated **** is either bent or the plastic bushings have failed.

installed four of the kits. I can say they are well designed and do provide clean and crisp shifts. My crawler still pop out of 4lo I'm just too lazy to adjust it some more.
