The word "All" wasn't the perfect word, but the vast majority do use dynojets. And any dyno that "corrects" to a DJ is just adding in the DJ inflation factor.

I have yet to see any manufacturer claim their gains in real % other than the outrageous marketing claims like "up to 20% more power", et al. When a parts manufacturer uses a DJ dyno for a baseline and max power, then that difference is also inflated by near 20%, it's simple math.

We are not at all bad mouthing any of these manufacturers, as we have run independent back to back tests on a number of systems on the same dyno on the same day (Volant was included in that test). ALL performed quite a better than the stock box and tube. None lived up to any manufacturers claims, but that is to be expected.

Bottom line - manufacturers are going to blow up their claims on any product, automotive or otherwise. It's how they SELL PRODUCTS. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out guys.

Thanks for the chime in Justin - look forward to meeting ya in SanAntone!

I have the 05 Tahoe fans, easiest to install since they are OEM. They are plug and play with the PCM (PINS 42 and 33) so you don't have to mess with tapping into the radiator.

If you have the Z71 or towing package then you have the larger radiator.

EDIT: if you have the narrow radiator, go with the LS1 fans, they are OEM as well.

Towing package? I know I don't have the z71. How do I check on a towing package?

I have the gear towing stuff on the truck but I'm not sure how to check if it is factory or if it was an add-on.
