I picked it up on Thursday night but didn't get home till late.
It runs fine. We didn't tune it at all since I'm not supposed to be flooring it yet anyway. The idle is set way high and the exhaust sounds good but is a bit on the too loud side so we ordered some high flow cats for it. We will install those and start dyno tuning next weekend after the motor is fully broken in.
I really can't comment right now since I can't do anything but drive the truck. It runs like a champ though. It just feels really doggy due to the big converter and HD trans and the fact I have stock 6.0L timing tables in it right now. LOL I floored it from a dead stop once when I had 300miles on it just to see where it stalled at but it flashed to like 2k then pulled so something is out of wack wether it be the wrong converter or just the simple fact we have no tunning done right now
Other than that it's all perfect

Nah, the Z71 is all N/A. The grey truck just got dropped off to do the motor and tranny swap + start fabricating the front mount twins. We are not decided on the size yet but the first recomendations were dual 30-1 DBB Garetts. That would support 700+rwhp and have VERY little lag.
