I didn't get a chance to look at it last night, but if you need help or want a more experienced hand to make changes I do email tuning through hptuners. My forum sponsor account is Atomic Performance

Shoot me an email at atomicfandp at gmail.com if you are interested!

Shouldn't he look at changing those stock valve springs?

If i needed better valve springs I would think texas speed would have quoted me on them before they shipped me the heads, since they spec out everything for me. I could be wrong though.

Been spending what time i have going through my tune. A big shout out to Atomic as he helped me a lot and I learned a great deal about tuning. I am now moving to upgrade my gears from 3.42 to 4.10 and a eaton LSD. Hopefully get it done this weekend but not rushing it as gears can be tricky and need to be done correct. Any tips or gotcha's are welcome for a stock 10 bolt GM 8.6

Tuning is pretty intimidating to me, not being a computer guy and all.
Being able to go through it yourself, how do you feel about it so far?

Well it was intimidating to me as well but I had atomic walk me through getting my base tune done. I took good notes so i could apply it to my next build or if i need to retune mine for upgrades. It feels better than it did before so im happy.

Default rear end is done

Went for a drive and all is well. Got some new ebay special rotors from brake motive, from little research they are better than what I had. Will need to hook hptuners back up to it and adjust shift points
