Thanks man! Between you and Z06Ted thats definetly some inspiration!

I want to get EFI Live for sure someday. I got to play around with it, HPT, and AEMs tuning software while I was a student at Wyotech. Didn't seem too hard to use, but we werent getting deep into the software either. Just simple fuel and timing changes.


I also got word from Justin(BBP) today that he is going to be tuning in my area at the end of October. So once I get back from Ocean City cruise weekend, Im going to setup an appointment to get my shift kit and servos installed. Once I it tuned again Ill try hitting the track one more time before they close down for the year.

Efi Live and a 2bar speed density tune is really easy.. Its step by step info on how to set up the tune and it just takes some time of driving.

Nice. After reading one of the other threads, I may even go ahead and throw my 60# injectors and 2bar map in and have Justin do a base SD tune. That way once I do get the turbo on, Ill atleast be able to drive it somewhere like the exhaust shop and whatnot.

Yep.. now your thinking..

you can even put your turbo on and just dont run a wastegate if you wanted to.. that way it wouldnt get in boost,, but you could still drive it.

thats true as well... hm. would be funny to have that whistle without the boost though lol. although the wide open exhaust would probably cover that up

Yea now that Ive found out I turn the same times stalling the truck up or just leaving from idle, I can focus more on cutting good lights.

Aside from the .006 light this past time, Ive also cut a .007 and .001 at the same track.

Thanks! Im seriously thinking of doing some footbrake/bracket racing lol. Its pretty damn consistent the way it sits now. Once I get my trans and rear end stuff done and should be even better!

I just hope it stays this consistent once I get the turbo on.
