yea i dont have a AFR gauge yet but got one on the way. It is intercooled and have meth on the way also to help with that. the truck has a leveling kit and 18 inch wheels with 305 tires i wana say but dont quote me. and as for this summer i plan on upgrading to a mild cam, valve springs, push rods ex. so in the future i guess im not to big in to the cam and i have no idea where to look or what to get so i guess if you guys have suggestions of what cam and lifters and rods ex... i would greatly appreciate it. thanks guys...oh and one thing i have a guy that lives in a city close to me that uses hp tuner so in a week or so im heading down there so he can tune it good.

Sounds like your pig rich. Get the AFR gauge and dial it in. Time the knock out.

A wideband sensor is for monitoring your Air to Fuel mixture. You can get a PLX brand unit with gauge for $225.00 at the moment from EDO performance. Installation is another story, search PLX for my notes.

A tuner will use the sensor to see where your AF is and adjust accordingly. A good tune on a Dyno is going for $5 to $600.00 and will have his own sensor. Around here once you get a tune its a one time cost. Add a mod and the tune is adjusted free with only a $60.00 dyno charge.

Or you can get a mail order tune for less but less accurate or personal. There is nothing like a Dyno tune IMHO.
