Thanks that is something I didn't factor in. But it still boils down to the rear diff not being square with the frame. That is where a a set of track bars would help to keep the diff in place.

I would have to say the axle is tweaked

Tried the Extreme Tune today from Matt at GH and OMG. That is what I can say on here without being stared out! lol. It maybe a little more than I was wanting, but it is fun. I will say this. I just sold my 03 Cobra with 659/604 to the wheels and with this Extreme tune the EX feels a lot closer to what my Cobra did and I can haul more things...lol.

I did not check the HP/TQ settings on the Extreme yet, but on the SRL+ it was at 492/988 at 102deg and 55% humidity on the Dyno.

Very impressed.

I did get some more stuff for the EX today too. Picked up some 0/2 gauge wire and waiting on my Marinco connector to arrive. I plan on adding an additional block heater plug to the rear of the truck for when we are up in Minnesota for the Holidays.

Nice! Can you PM me the details on who you used and such. I have been looking for a new tune for awhile. Maybe some of your engine details?

I think the next thing I need to do is upgrade my trans. Not sure how long this one will last with the power levels it is going to see. That and fuel upgrades. lol

God, more money to spend.

Running stock injectors. I dont have the sheet here with me, I am not at home.

I am not sure what/whose I am going to run for upgraded sticks if I do them. Diesels are all new to me when it comes to performance. I am used to building Cobras,(dont kill me) Corvettes and Fbodies.

When I had a 6.0L I was looking into the 8 hole injectors from Elite in CO. Never got around to it.
