Thanks, just something to get me from A to B And I will definitely take some videos once I get it all dialed in.

I am hoping all of this will be enough, but in the horsepower world, I don't see that word used much

did you up grade your pump yet, im running a 255 intank and i went out unning yesterday and found out my fuel pressure was dropping to 35psi at 4500 and up rpms causing 17+ afr's "not good ,thank god im on e85 other wise engine would be bye-bye" so needless to say i got to add another pump to hold my psi in place.

So, took everyone's advice and pulled down to 3.0" from 3.3" AND went E85 with the Ford Racing modified 75# injectors. Let's just say, thanks to Wheatley's tuning, it is a whole new truck! Holy crap, this thing moves out now. Videos to come... And dyno results soon...

You may have better luck finding one from someone else with how slow I am with doing stuff

You want to help me put my longtubes on and the radix? Im considering just giving up on the tuning and having Charlie do it for me. I just dont have the time for it right now to learn.

What injector duty cycle are you at right now? Wondering if my 60s will be enough for the cammed LQ4 and 2.8 pulley on E85

Haha, you and me both; I love stockpiling parts that I don't have time to install!

Yeah, for sure. Don't know when I will be up in Austin next, but if you are down in Houston, I have a friend's shop near by that we could install them at. I do my best to install everything myself, but it's a good feeling for those "oh sh*t" moments to have a few mechanics nearby, haha.

Right now, I am at 68% IDC on the 75#'ers on E85 with the 3.0". I left myself some headroom for a cam and even more boost down the road.

Looks like I may be ready to sell it sooner than i thought after my talk with Mr.Wheatley last night

Its not that Im scared of running into problems since Ive installed a couple of these radix kits and Ive already got a 255 in the tank so install shouldnt take long at all. The problems is the temporary apt Im renting Ive only got a small *** one car garage. I used to have an oversized two car garage so the one car is damn near full with just my crap and no real room to accomidate a decent sized project. I may take you up on that offer some time in the near future. Hell when the time comes to swap the cam maybe we could work out a deal for me to come down and just park em right next to each other and swap them out.

Glad to hear youve got that much room, looks like Ill be able to do what I want on my 60s
