Better becareful, you might hear me coming down the road taking you up on that offer. Actually that leads me to another idea. You know what we need is a big 6.0l get together. A good lot of us crazy people at one place. That'll be a sight.
Do what my rv club does, an annual national ralley somewhere. Theirs is in Indiana by the factory and they usually get a tour of the factory. All the 6.0l in the country in one place .

Hell with fuel costs, only live once. Only worry about things that you can change, not things you can't. Besides that, I truly believe that this too shall pass.

For some odd reason, I seem to think a trip to Hendersonville, NC would be as good as any other for a big 6.0 rally. Even though I was there in March, something about the beauty of the place just calls me back.

To be honest with you I wanted to go with Matt's tunes also but I went with DJ's for this waiting game reason and couldn't be happier. I received the tuner in 2 days and the tunes in 2 hours after sending them my strategy. I received another tune yesterday off just an email 30 mins later.

I have heard nothing but, good about Matt and the guys at Spartan so I am going to stick with them. I know it took months to get the tunes, although I am sure it is worth the wait.

I also am planning a fuel system upgrade, head studs, new performance injectors, and maybe a turbo this summer all which I would like to purchase from SDT. After all that goes on here comes the water/meth injection.

I also understand the headache of owning your own business and dealing with things.

Guys,

Matt is very tied up working on customer build trucks and the 6.4 thing. I am Doing the vast majority of 6.0 tunning from here on. From here on, please send all 6.0 tune requests to my email at efoster@spartandieseltech.com My inbox is overflowing as is and I am working to get through them, but since I am updating them as I go every time I get a new strategy I must apply our latest changes, so please bare with me. Also, If you have purchased a tuner and have yet to receive files make the subject "1st time tunes" and I will give special priority to your request. Lastly, Please be certain to put your strategy code and what files you want in each request.

Sorry for the delays and thanks for your continued patience.
