cool deal, are you having Ronny install the tranny? If so let him know I sent you to him and he may cut you a little better deal, Ive always taken my stuff to him and Ive hooked him up in the past with golf stuff. If Im in town next weekend id be glad to come drink some beer and spectate the cam swap Someone else installed my cam but I did keep a very watchful eye and helped him some.

zach i saw your truck up at the oreillys off gilmer road like 2 weeks ago do you work there?

also the tune i got from terrance just wasnt cutting it so i took the truck over to luckys speed and performance to get it dyno tuned

terrance had my idle about 800 and it wouldnt crank up when cold so i would have to give it some gas. jon up there now has it cranking when cold and idle is about 650 just waiting to hear from em to call me about seeing it stapped to the rollers
