Dark Star - 2014 Silverado RCSB

Probably but undecided. Waiting for the first test n tune in Feb to see how the truck runs.
I'll be getting a swap meet space at the Good Guys car show in March @ TMS. I'll probably drag everything I have out there and then post whatever's left.

Here's Kook's reply to their green cats throwing a code with the stock tune...
It will require a proper tune for the air fuel mixtures because you have changed the way the engine breathes. The parameters need to be adjusted so the light won’t come on.
Then later...
I did some research will my R&D guys and have found that the newer computers in the Chevy’s are sensitive to any change to the vehicle. Since installing the headers it detected something different. We had another customer that turned his rear O2’s off and he didn’t have the problem anymore. Let me know if I can help with anything else.
I don't know, maybe I misread everything I was reading about these in both advertising and product owners talking about them.
But at the end of the day, I feel like I got sold snake oil.

Check Oil light came on yesterday. Down 2+ quarts since my last oil change 6,000 miles ago. 16k total mileage.
It's going in for top end cleaning anyway, so I'll see about putting it on a monitoring program.

Got the top end service done. and a few other things. Drivetrain-wise I am stock except headers, catted Y, CAI & tune.
Let's see how far off my best run it will be. Gas mileage should be better, lol.

Got too much truck in my blood to trade for a car so...
I really, Really, REALLY want to drop a L86/LT1 in my truck but logistically it doesn't look hopeful. Also, it looks like I can reach my power goals with H/C & Procharger. So I guess I'll start scouting deals and piecing it together.
My high level list...
o LT4 injectors & fuel pump
o DOD delete kit
o Chevy Performance ported LT1 heads & hot cam package (or should a spec a custom cam?)
o (Already have a ported LT1 intake manifold)
o Procharger
