Custom Tune
Finally got every thing finished! New oil cooler, SCT, dummy plugs, thermostat, etc... I then put a custom tune in by Matt. Used his SRL tune... Wow what a kick in the pants! I think it would out run my Mustang! lol I dropped back to the 8k tune and it is perfect. Shifts very nice and nice power. Probably alittle easier on tires than the SRL!

Finally have peace of mind about her! Hopefully there is nothing else for awhile....

Thanks guys for all of the great advise on here....

Daniel

Well, there is... But it takes a heck of a lot of discipline.

It was a great tune! But I cant afford replacing tires! The 8k is better than the stock but doesnt light up the tires as quick.... Shifting on both where great!

Good luck!
