The power is night and day, and its every where in the RPM band and pulls hard up top. It runs kind of rough and stalls every now and then which can be expected with a mail order tune with a cam. Im gonna take it in tomorrow to the dealership and have the crank relearn done because I have an SES light. My Pacesetter long tube headers arrived today, still waiting on the ORY pipe so when that gets here and installed, I will more than likely take it in for a dyno tune or purchase HP Tuners, just not sure yet.
Mods on my truck so far are
LQ9
Thunder Racing Pushrods
Comp cam 220/226 556/570 114+4
comp 918 springs
42 lbs injectors
