Cool Birdman!
I've been so swamped with roofs blowing off around here the past two weeks, that I haven't even thought about video-ing things from inside the cab - even though I carry 3 cameras all the time.
I'll see if I can get some similar footage tomorrow as I have a bit of running around to do between jobsites and meetings.

Lol, check out the nanny thread - I've been around when I can.
But yeah, I won't be for the next week or so - work will cap 80 hours a week until at least Christmas due to the recent issues here. The Eatons Center here is one of my clients and we just finished the worlds largest skylight installation (743 feet long) - I'm glad the Home Tower roof decided to fly north instead of west, as there would definately been casualties with that roof landing on the skylight.

here ya go, video ninja.

they broke loose twice from 20-60, got kinda squirrely.

2nd part, to the floor no hesitation like before.

3rd part: i also wanted to show you one of the other nice results of the 5 Star...around :30 i ease in to it up to 3500, let off, then mash it to the floor. notice it holds that gear. it doesn't upshift when i let off...it screams through the rest of the gear.

Very nice improvement. I am really wanting one now. Any gain on mpgs yet?

driving like that? lol. all i can tell you truthfully is that my mpg has not changed, maybe it would go up if i started driving a little less aggressively but it hasn't gone down either.

You're kicking some ass there Buddy! 3,000 to 5,000RPM, my limiter would kill me without a buttload of shifting. I haven't put the SCT on mine yet. Do you have the X3 or what?
