I usually get my wire loom at mcfadden-dales. Not sure if they have a location near you.

Yeah, they do look damn good in your truck! I'm noticing alot of other similarities, only difference is your actually making those things work...as opposed to mine which more more art than functional.

Found the misfire issue...cracked plug on #1 cylinder. Fortunately its the easiest plug to get to and only took me a minute to fix. Burns that tire to like 90mph now At 11psi at the shift, fuel pressure is down about 5-6psi so the stock pump is done. Time for more fuel!

Haha, in due time I have all the stuff for the fuel system so I'm going to try to get it in this weekend. Should be able to snag some video then.

Are you going to run braided feed and return lines?

So I've got some feedback on the setup. First off I am pretty sure I have another cracked plug from all the banging around that occurred during the build. So I recorded some videos to get a snapshot of the misfiring (because the scanner/cable is taking a ****...) to at least get some record of it happening. Course in all my videos it never misfired This is rolling into it from about 40mph. Boost gauge on left, fuel pressure on right.

4.8 somewhere between 16-22psi - YouTube

Not a fan of how the boost oscillates for a while after getting up to pressure. I turned the sensitivity down on the boost controller but its not perfect yet. Anybody else found a sweet spot on the eboost street?

I've been tuning this thing almost completely by guess too, because my scanner stops recording and disconnects when I get into high boost. I've got probably 10 logs of it happening, just cuts out and I get nothing. Some other people are experiencing this, but not much help on the HPT forum. Any ideas? Ol' Richard said to replace the USB cable, so I may give that a whirl lol.
