Speaking of which...
I really want to thank Henry (stoichiometric) and Dustin (Wilde Racing) for letting me pick their brains and put up with my calling, texting and PM'ing them every other day with stupid questions to dumb problems that a three year old could figure out if he spent 10 seconds thinking it through(unlike me). They each wrote me a basic tune for start up, one for EFILive(Henry) and one for HPTuners(Dusty) depending on what software it was gonna take to get my truck running on start up! Whether they were at work or at home with their family they always got back to me as soon as they could so BIG THANKS to the two of you!!

And also to Joseph (1fastbrick) for doing the dirty work and fixing my stripped oil cooler lines! And Rex for always telling me how slow I am and how bad I fucked up when I broke bolts...(which I did alot! )


I'll get off my Soapbox now!!

C,mon now ! I never said you f -d anything up, Heck, it happens to everyone when you do major work like that. You tackled A pretty big job mostly by yourself and I commend you for taking it on.I have done many things like this years ago and there were many hurdles to jump but A great learning experience while doing so. Congrats Julian Rex..........

I'm just teasing you big guy!! You did roll your eyes at me when I broke the oil pan bolt though!!
Thanks for the moral support!! I got the 20-50 and threw it in the motor, she's happy with it!!

Don't know, I can't drive her out on the street because of the exhaust and because the tune in there is so limited. It can idle but that's about it, anything more than that and I risk damage to the motor so as of now I don't think she's gone faster than 20 mph or more than 2K rpm's.
