The initial tune is running great! It gets full rich whenever I get into any kind of boost so it's very safe for the first tune. I'm not going to run E85 because the closest place with it is 2.5 hours from me!!! Lol.

Did you notice much difference once you started leaning it out?

Hey boss, how low are you up front, and what did you use?
Have any issues with axles breaking?

I am currently running Belltech Drop struts which lowers the front 2 inches. I have not had any axle issues. I have a set of Drop spindles to install also just have not had the time to install them yet. Im looking to lower the truck another 1 to 2 inches....

It felt like it ran alot better and of coarse less "doggy". Meter was plopping down at 10AFR in any kind of light boost, especially after the cam. Make sure you give him exactly the injectors you have (you bought yours so im assuming thats already done). In mine we had issues finding out what they were as they were not the ones included with the kit or ones i purchased...its still a little rich now but its safe and its been kicking *** for a few years...how are you guys tracking AFR on the scans when you report the files to him?

I finally got my grill color matched. I am also piecing together a few parts for my next engine build in this truck because my tuner has been warning me that 16# boost will only last so long in a stock 6.2L. Just a few odds and ends...

I did the same thing to the front of my silver denali. But I color matched the whole thing and I did the lower grill too. It came out really nice.
