Don't forget to stop by the shop and say hi when you come out here.

Well I droped my truck off to get dyno tuned. I should have it back on Wensday. The base tune I have in it is extremely rich! When I droped it off he strapped the truck down because at first it was only there to get a A/F reading. The truck pegged his wideband at 10.0 from about 3000 to 6000 rpm's. So I kmow it was running richer than 10.0! It was bad enuff to see black smoke from the tail pipe. I am not very happy about the base tune but nothing I can do now, but hope this guy can get it straightened out. However it did pull 358hp and 398 torque. With it being so rich I am hopeing there is still a lot left in it. I currently don't have the methonal kit completely installed and I am waiting to recive the throttle body harness from Dr.X. Once I get it tuned I'll be bringing it back to have it tweaked for the meth and it'll have the new harness on it.
What do you guys guess it will make for power?
Here's a couple more pics.

Your truck looks awesome!
Don't worry about the low power numbers with the af below 10:1. It'll bump up pretty good when the tune is proper.
I see your being careful not to gas wash the rings with the super rich tune by trailering the truck to the dyno. Smart move.......

Thanks for the compliment Richard! Ya, gas washing the rings has been a big concern of mine. I hope nothing has caused a improper break in yet.

Very good idea to not trust the lo AFR tune! I had the same prob with my first test drive around the block and parked it and had it trailered to the tuner. After spending all that cash u only get one chance to seat those rings!
