Mod with training wheels

First thought is plug gaps if it idles like **** in park/neutral, barring any calibration issues... Would need to see data to know for sure, but check that plug gaps aren't too tight. I'd also ditch the MAF. Even if it has enough resolution to handle the flow, when boost comes in that charge pipe will flex and throw off fueling because the airflow through the MAF will contort.

The plan all along has been to make well over 500, but I was told MAF is good for 500-550whp. As I've said before, when I switch intake manifolds and TBs and have to build new charge pipes, I will then switch to SD.
Plugs are gapped at 0.028 and I confirmed when I pulled them.

Used a borescope to check out cylinder number 8, since it was lower than the others, and it appears fine. This picture shows.some crosshatching I thought was cool
Re-attached the plug wires and made sure they all made a solid connection. Also used some extra wire from the turbo blanket to hold up the wires off the manifold and get an air gap
Full finger gap
Tuner sent me a new file to test and it now idles beautifully. Very rich, but no longer surging and dying and popping, so I feel we are making progress.
Made a wiring harness for my radio install

Well it's been a long couple of weeks. Decided to start the audio build since I had to mail my gauge cluster out again because they didn't activate the DIC.
Shortly after that, we had some emergency issues with our dog and we had to take her to Texas A&M and get a pacemaker installed. Surgery went well and she is back home recovering now. It cost about as much as a small car, but you do what you gotta do for your beloved pets.
After the surgery with her bandage. They put the pacemaker under the skin of her neck
Anyway, back to the truck mods
Glued some wood to the back wall
Sound deadener
Box installed and screwed into the wood strips to it doesn't move around
RCAs run on the passenger side
Drivers side complete
Engine side complete
Slowly making progress
Made some brackets for the second amp
Fail
Building a harness for the SMD meters
Moved the amp back 1/2" which is perfect fit
SMD meters and gain ***** mounted
Close the lid and it's all hidden
