Thanks guys! I really need to get it on the dyno but I will drive it for the winter as is. Spring time will see the dyno and a little more boost and see if I can get booted from the track haha. I'm also going to build up my spare 5.3L in case my little 4.8L takes a dump on me.

I've had some problems with year and I've been so busy that I haven't had much time for the truck. It has barely been driven since February. I bought a new house and a new job this year so I've had very little time.

I did however put a new trans in, a new rear end and had to replace one of the fuel pumps. I also dumped the dual exhaust and went to a single 3". It came out super nice.

I've got one more track day tomorrow so I'm going to attempt to street tune on 20lbs today and get to the track tomorrow. Unfortunearly it's eighth mile only, but it'll still be fun. I went 7.5 last year, I'd like to see a 6 but I don't think it'll happen on 20lbs.

Stay tuned!

I was going to say my 5.3 HATED the br7 plugs. Went to a br6 and picked up a lot of power and drivability. Sounds like you got your problems sorted out though!
