FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, as Blown has stated the truck is running strong.
I am extremely impressed with the kit. I was surprised by how smooth it is. Just tons of power, yet a great smooth delivery. 
No after numbers yet. This will happen this saturday or next. We ran into a problem with the tuning. The Superchips tuner supplied would not flash over the PCM. Apparently the tune needs to be stock and UNLOCKED for the superchips to work. Anyways, after an hour or so at the local dealership gettin ghte PCM reprogramed to stock status, the PCM accepted the Superchips tune and VIOLA!!!!!!!!!!!!
I extend great thanks to Jeff and Brian for getting this thing worked out.
Jeff did a great job on the install and provide amazing customer service. I will definitely make the 1.5 hr drive through LA traffic again if I need to. The truck is boosting to about 6-6.5 lbs. I love it. I averaged 16.2 mpg on the trip up to the shop (65miles) and I averaged 19 mpg back with some playing around. ( I couldnt resist toying with a ricer civic 
)
I must say that I am impressed with the smoothness again. So much so that I question other modifications when not done as a system. My truck was so jerky and annoying before. I will probably be selling my EFILIve I bought just because I dont want to mess with things for a while.
I am extremely happy, thanks again to Jeff and Brian.

Great! Glad it all worked out well. I didn't know you had to have a stock PCM, well I did, let me explain. I thought if you laid a performance tune over another performance tune it would really screw up the values and the engine might go BOOM 
I didn't know the PCM wouldn't let you do it. Anyway, have fun. You'll get addicted to the whine
