I am putting a 3600 behind my old 6.0...we'll see how different the drivability is compared to mine.. Michael i usually prefer a tighter converter so it may seem just right to some people. Its only loose for a little while; as soon as it gets a few rpms it pulls nicely, not sloppy at all.

Got the truck on about 9psi and it runs decent except for a high rpm misfire. As soon as it gets above 4800rpms or so, it starts to feel choppy and the O2 voltage on the driver side bank drops a little bit. I checked to make sure all the plug wires are on and tight. Anybody have suggestions for what the culprit might be? I dropped it into 1st and part throttled it up to 5500rpm and it didn't do it. I am considering either a broken valve spring or possibly a cracked spark plug...

Sick! The valve covers match the intake and fuel rails bad ***!
All that extra work and pain in the *** wire tuck came out extremely good!

I could make yours fancy too

Also, this is unrelated, but...where can i find quality wire loom?? I have tried a few different types now and none compares to the factory wire loom. All of the stuff ive used in the past and recently has melted. My hydroboost lines with loom on them are line an inch from the turbo/pipes yet dont seem to mind the heat.. much higher quality stuff.
