    That is exactly why I made the distinction between most others and all of you. And that has nothing to do with me as the chosen tuner. It simply goes back to the point that you did the research and found someone you trust and stayed the course.

    Every tuner does things their own way, that is why it makes a lot more sense to stick with one then call or email 15 places and go for the cheapest price or end up talking to the person that will tell you what you want to hear just to get you in the door.

    That was one of the frustrating things I had to deal with. I know of shops that are making money hand over fist that have no clue how to tune. Coming to the final conclusion to shut the shop down was one of the hardest things I had to do, hell I miss doing it right now. I know the fact that I really enjoyed making hp for a living was not lost on you guys. Although i may not have appeared all that empatic in between pulls. Given my personality I tend to get focused on the job

    If you ever want to move to SW Florida, let me know, we could really do some good work. I'm trying to find a suitable location to sell auto accessories and some wrenching and fab work. There is a ton of money in this area and there aren't any shops that have the knowhow that your talking about. There probably aren't very many places in the entire country that can do what you do. I think with your reputation you'll find success wherever you go. Best of luck!

    I am always wide open to suggestions. that gives me more reasons to travel and check out areas of the state I have not been to yet. The stuff you want to do would not infringe on my side of it and would work hand in hand

    The truck performed well! I was very proud... she made a lot of the ricers go "daaaammmmnnn" lol I'll post up the sheets in a little bit so check back!

    :: DyNo ::
    Just one for now.. I'll put the other two another time when I have more time! This is the first run enjoy (just remember it's completely STOCK! only "mod" is the drop in K&N.

    Run #1:

    Run #2 was the same so I'll spare the bandwidth...
    and Run #3 gained 4 more ponies! yay


    Since it's soooo freakin small:
    #1: 335 hp; 400 torq; a/f 12.5
    (#2: 335.43 hp; 397.21 torq; a/f 12.7)
    #3: 339.04 hp; 398.67 torq; a/f started at 12.7 dropped to 12.4)

    So how do I fix that? and why might it be that much higher?

    Go back to the tuner and tell him/her you'd feel safer with it around 11.8 a/f. He will retune it.
