Default new life in the 5.0!!!

hey yall i put myaluminum driveshaft in today! i also checked my TPS after i found out how on here yesterday. it was at .84!!! i set it to .98 and after i tried it out it feels like its just screaming now. is it all just in my head or did the driveshaft swap and TPS adjustment do that much for me? what do yall think?

You wouldn't get anything out of the d/s. The tps being adjusted correctly could help out though.

well there is less rotational mass in the ds so you can feel something from it, but mostly your tranny is eating up the HP. As for the TPS can you point me to the link where you read up on that?

thats awesome mang, was it hard to adjust the TPS? Im looking at the directions here and they make it sounds like u just move it til u get the right voltage, how does that change anything?
