oleman, if you say that's what its worth, then that is what it's worth.

And i'm not at all worried by the hippie smog police.. not where I live

I should have given a little more detail of the project.
97 F250HD 460 speed density EFI w/ K&N intake filter
Banks torquetube headers and stinger exhaust
I may also do a full emissions delete(cat, air pump, etc) along with EGR delete

I want this thing to run as smoothly as mechanically, and electrically possible, so that it lasts twice as long as it already has. I will probably be buying a moates quarterhorse or similar chip, and the software to customize it so the computer will not be as much of an issue to deal with.

What other problems could I expect from doing this?
