Installed new plugs, BR7EF again gapped at 0.020" and new MSD wires and the truck is much smoother all over now! Feels like it gained quite a bit of power. Maybe it was just on the edge of blowout. Either way, I believe this was my issue. I will be doing some more tuning soon, stay tuned!

Did a bit of tuning last night. I cannot figure out why it is richer now but it is. Truck is definitely up on power, feels very good. Logged a launch in 4wd, 0-60mph in 3.9s while spinning to about 30mph. Need to tune more and go to the track! 15psi

The last test and tune of the year was today. Haven't had a ton of time to play with the truck but I went anyways. It's making about 210kpa boost, about 0.72 lambda for fuel, 18 degrees timing, E85.

I made two passes. The first pass I botched the launch completely. Second pass I launched decently.

60': 1.785
1/8: 7.500 @ 94.57mph
1/4: 11.679 @ 116.56mph

So all I've really changed from the problems I was having is new plugs and wires. I knew it should have been faster haha. In all I'm very happy.

Thank everyone!
