So the battery died today, so that got replaced. I pretty much have replaced everything here in the last 2 months.


Anyways, the truck is tuned for 8-9psi now Now i gotta adjust the boost controler for stage1=10psi and stage2=14psi.

Maybe someday. I will say this the new alkycontrol kit is the ****! Apparently my old kit was a raging pile of midget crap. Tuning WOT now is soooo easy and predictable. My old kit fought me the entire time. Should have switched along time ago.

On a side note. The iridium plugs are doing great so far. They are gapped at .035, not a single hint of kR and i even turned up the sensitivity of the knock sensors. Granted it is only at 8-9psi. Nothing ground breaking but interesting.
