My truck only has about 100 miles on it. I'm going to give it to about 1000 and then re-evaluate.

If I had to put money on it, I'd put it on "yes", I'll be putting it on my truck. Not many places you can get 50+ HP for a few hundred dollars, especially not on a luxury car. It's too tempting. Especially when you know that BMW has a factory option on this truck that has WAY more HP on it (the 50d) telling me that the block/tranny/engine internals can take the additional force without issue. That's always the worry when you start to add HP, what "else" is going to break. This truck is already capable of handling 450+HP and 500+Ft/lbs of tourque. So I don't think there's nearly as much risk as there is in say, tuning a Corvette where things are already on the "breaking point".

Take it out of the box and install it..
