He bought the truck the way it sits and as far as he knows its stock. I know a converter is needed and will help, just figured that cam would help from a roll and didnt get much out of it.
AJ hasnt got a chance to tune the transmission yet. Hes gonna try and get to it this weekend.
Guess I just had high hopes lol. This guy talks alot of **** and its killing me

Lol might have to. It's killing me man. I'm super competitive. He kept telling me that the first time we raced he didn't even push the tow/haul button and that this time he would. I was laughing because he was acting like it was gonna make him 2x faster. Then we raced and he just walked off from me. I think I just need to go ahead and start looking for a 6.0

Yeah I have plans to get the converter and headers. I just figured I would be able to handle a stock 5.3 with my cam. It was tuned by aj. It wasnt a mail order tune, so im pretty sure its dialed in where it needs to be. This wasnt his first rodeo. He tunes Bumpers farm truck and his truck
