The more i thought about it though, there really shouldnt be a lot of difference between tuning a Camaro and a truck as long as you know what what to look for and how to use the software. Looking forward to getting down there on thursday and seeing how we do. Another thing that probably makes a difference is the fact that when we dyno'ed the truck at his place (f-body), we tested it from 1750rpm- 4700rpm and in 3rd gear. When we tested it at the other place, we tested it from 3000rpm-5000rpm and we tested it in 3rd gear with tow/haul engaged so it would hold the gear without kicking down. Pretty sure that would make a difference in the numbers. Thats the way we will dyno it this time for sure. I am set to go in around 4pm, but they have to install the O2 bung as well, so i am sure i will be there for a few hours.

Looks like i am going to have to shoot for Friday over at F-body instead of Thursday. I forgot i had a stupid concert to go to with the old lady that night. When i talk to Jason tomorrow i will let you know what time it will be on Friday if he can switch me.

Okay, got some play time with the truck today, Not sure if its the PCM dialing in or what, but this freakin thing is starting to really come alive. Its spinning something fierce now, and it is pulling through the shifts so strong you dont hardly even feel the rpm change. No miss, no audible pinging, no maxing out the fuel, its just really starting to run really strong. It is incredible when cruising at 30-40mph and i just touch the throttle. It leaps right up and pulls like crazy. I am 100% happier than i was a few days ago, very, very happy. I almost dont want to take it in for the dyno tune its running so well. If they can improve it even more, i am going to have to take a change of underwear with me.
