They were not able to finish the dyno due to time constraints. Truck runs, however tuning is not complete. Dave said it was making 15 psi @ WOT and sounded like a dragster. I am sure he will mention more once he gets some rest, this build has made the big guy a little cranky.

can I be picky for one second? you know I love the truck, and completely jealous of it... however why did you paint the "gap" on the SS ducts silver. instead of blue? That was always one thing that drove me nuts, it should look like a gap there, IMO. However I didn't notice it on yours as fast I did just notice it. Ok I'm done

A little side story - about 4 years ago I had a kidney transplant, and I have to avoid getting sick at all costs to avoid complications... after yesterdays hellascious day - 300+ miles on a flatbed, dyno, photoshoot I came home last night with a fever - almost had to goto the ER but my Doc told me to chill and get some rest and fluids... my fever subsided this morning but I still feel shitty - gonna take it easy for a few days.

Ok now onto the results and whatnot... I was having issues with the truck running and it turned out to be a bad 2bar map sensor - go figure. Big thanks to Ben and Justin at EFI Live University for coming through with a spare map sensor.
We spent about 4 hours tuning the truck, and like brian said, it sounds like a beast! I have video but its kinda crappy and it was only a partial pull. Justin says there is a whole lot more to go, we didnt even touch any timing and my WOT AFR was 10.5... so in his words he expects 7xx+ rwhp. Considering Justin lives back east and is only out once every couple of months - Brian stepped up and said magnuson will finish the tune sometime before sema... something to the effect of - "bring it down and we'll spend a day on it... finishing what justin started" So when that happens I'll be sure to post video and pics.
We then went out to the EVOC center for the photoshoot... I had my camera and took some photos, but Im no where near the level of "picture monkeys" the guys at the magazine are...
here are mine -
