Started doing some tuning Joe, and it’s getting there. Im still running low boost (50 psi), and I still have my stage 3 water/meth to install, and some other things. But it’s definitly getting there. I want to put some more miles on it, and re-adjust the valves, and go from there.

🤣 … Some people love it, some people hate it. Fact of it is, it’s hard to build power without having smoke. But smoke does not = power.

Most people are just idiots to be honest with you, and think that they can black out roads, etc, etc, etc … Not to mention everyone and there brother thinks they have 500 hp.

I try my hardest not to make my truck smoke when I take it out and am crusing around, but its VERY hard in my truck … A LOT of fuel going through it.
