More progress...Moved the battery to the bed & installed Circle D 278mm converter. After I break it in I'll see what it stalls to. Still waiting on parts for the intake. I did get the pulley to re-route the belt installed. Once I get all the parts I'll post a consolidated list of everything.

Wow! I never expected this converter to make such a difference in daily driving. I get it now when people say it makes it much more fun to drive. Best way I can explain it is to harken back to my 2-stroke days and say it keeps it up on the pipe.

-----

I was hoping to get to the track today and see how much improvement I have as well as baseline before I put the intake on, but I ain't spending the afternoon stroking out in this weather.

I may go ahead and have it dyno tuned now and after I get the intake installed. Any recommendations for someone in DFW, preferably Lewisville -> east? (E85)

ADM doesn't do dyno tunes on Gen5s. I've got enough life keeping me from base lining my truck right now, either on the dyno or at the track, so I doubt I'll do it. It'll be about a month before I can get the LT1 intake installed.
