Well, here's an update! 
Picked her up today!
I picked up my truck today from the tuners at 5pm. They called me at 3pm and told me that they were currently making 668rwhp / 637rwtq at 12lb of boost, no meth on 91 octane and the dyno room temp was 105 degree. They asked if I wanted to keep going and turn up the boost some more and start tuning with meth and I told them no, it was not necessary.
Reason being is that I'm actually really pleased with those numbers for right now, and I'm at the point where traction is an issue and not power. I also really need my truck the next few days because I'm moving and packing up my house. So I figure once things calm down in my life and the weather cools down a bit more, I'll put in a few more lb of boost, add some meth and see what the truck will do in cooler weather. My guess is low 8xx's.
Here's the dyno sheet
Also...when I first brought them the truck they threw it up on the dyno just to see what's what and it was determined that on 5 cylinders at 7.5psi the truck was making 321rwhp!! That's what I was competing at during the Truckin Competition!!
So anyways, trucks' back home and I unloaded my bike out of the back and took the truck out for a test spin finally and it is a whole lot of fun! I've only done a few pulls in first and second gear but once she hooks she pulls really hard!
If I get a chance I'll see if I can't get some vids next week.

668rwhp is PLENTY; just enjoy the hell out of it now; don't worry about all the mega horsepower internet talk; enjoy your success; it's been a long road for you

It will be a night and day difference with the meth and cooler temp even at that same 12psi. Around 15~16 is where that GT42 will hit it's sweet spot and really start to shine. 12~16psi is a huge jump on a combo like that. Lol at the little 215 Isky and 317's pulling to 6500 + 
I'm moving in when you take me to a Ron White concert!!
I'll be driving through Austin a few times so you'll see me with my Toy Hauler once or twice. I need to get/buy an ATV so I can go riding with Stewie. Thanks though, I'll be up in the valley later today and might go to Bob Big boy's in Burbank tonight. Not sure what you up to.

And yes you can throw some suspension on this but just not Wes's!!
I'm moving from Manhattan Beach California and I'm moving to...I have no idea. Moved all my stuff into storage, have tenants who want to sign a 1 year lease on my place and I'll sell it after that. But as far as where in the world I'm moving to, I have absolutely no idea!
Damn I should start a thread to ask people if they like where they live!
Anyways, doesn't matter right now, just bumming it on friends couches for a little while until I ship out again. Once I get back I'll figure out what I wanna do with my life.
