Oh ok, keep us informed. I'm not done with the intake yet either. My next plan is to get it dyno'd after a gear and trutrac install.

Been off and on tuning with Justin. I couldn't imagine using this for a daily setup. The idle, and idle flair ups is retarded. Im sure i'll get to squared away, but drive ability will suffer.

That sucks bgray, i've been running mine for a yr now with no problems after comp sent me a new lower section. How did you torque it down? I used the sequence and spec in the instructions BUT i had to go thru the sequence on each torque spec like 4 if not 5 times before the bolts were actually tight, if you just ran the bolts once on the lower spec and then once on the higher spec it may not be sealing correctly. I installed mine with a 102 dbw tb at the same time and do all my own tuning and daily drive it no problems and i'm no where near as good as justin is.

Its def sealed, there's no leaks at all. I did the same thing, each sequence 3 times before I moved on.

Im not blaming Justin for it, but I think its something that needs to be tuned in person. For him to look at logs, make changes, send em to me, me send back etc cantake a week or 2 to complete. Theirs no way he can spend just a set few hours trying to nail it out. I think its ones of those things that needs someones direct attention for a day to figure it out.

Im fairly sure Im gonna trailer it over the border to New Era, however, I just bought a new house, and want to sell my old one before I go wasting money on a truck

If you post your tune up here maybe we can help. I gave up on mail order/email tuning years ago.

I will wait for a few more retunes from justin, and well go from there. I dont want to undermine his work by posting his tune. Good advice tho, I may take that route.

sorry to be the bearer of bad news but most likely it will still idle like crap i had my truck at a very well known shop that does just LS stuff in my area for the same reason and it ran better when i got it back but the drivability wasnt very good so i ended up putting a TBSS intake on and its much better now.
