Little idle clip once she warmed up a little, still won't idle without me manually cracking the throttle but it doesn't have any sort of tune yet other than injector flow rates at the moment

You may want to consider some shielding on the exhaust or heat lining on the Trany cooler lines. It can be dangerous if they rub or burn through on the exhaust.
The fluid will burn and catch on fire.

Most definitely, got to get the year pipe built and exhaust installed before I know what and how much of the stuff I need. But it's on the list after exhaust

No more progress performance wise, I'm on my second tuner so far, still not completely satisfied.
I'm really debating buying the software myself, or switching to a holley dominater ecm. Both are beyond my budget at the moment.

Switched to a fleetside bed, and got a tonneau cover. This is how the truck sits as of right now.

It's a bit of a learning curve but you will be much happier having your own software.
