I was saying you need to figure out what you weere going to do about the HPOP first. Its true that you dont need to have your truck tuned for a new HPOP, only when you want to get the full benifits from it. If it were me I would run the 17* for now save up get the T500 put it in enjoy your new found power, then get the sticks you want and have the truck tuned for everything at once saving yourself a little bit of cash. Plus if you keep the 15* there wont be a core charge on the new HPOP because you can send it in first.

Haha that is funny. And yes, t-500 would be good to have before injectors. If I put in just a t500, I would have to tune for that wouldn't I? So I would have to retune again when I got injectors? Maybe I am mistaken and I can just put a t500 on with the tuning I have.
Too late on the tape btw haha. Its already off.

I read through that thread. That is very good to know. Thanks.
Seeing that the live tuning is May 17-20, Maybe I should go this route:
.Get Tax Return
.Buy Ceramic Coated Uppipes & T500. Install both along with Turbonetics & early-to-late conversion components
.Save More Money
.Buy used 6 position chip & get single shots built into Stage II's
.Drive to Spokane on stock sticks & DP tuner, Install injectors and tuning just before Live tune
What do you guys think?
I could do uppipes, throw on palmers 17 hpop, buy injectors and order tuning, then upgrade t500 after.
But unless I could have the tuning push the crap out of that 17 so that come my t500, i would get its full potential, I dont know if I would want to go that route.

That sounds like a great plan bryce. Worst case scenario you end up at the live tuning with new injectors a healthy hpop. Best case is you get your t500 and its all ready in 2 and a half months for live tuning. Regardless the live tuning whether with the t500 or not will be worth it and if you add the t500 afterwards it will just multiply the effects of the live tuning.

Just priced out the T-500 (with a pre-shipped 17 degree core), and Bellowed Uppipes (Ceramic coated and pre-tapped) through RiffRaff.
Subtotal = $999.95
Total including shipping = $ 1,017.33
There is the comma

So, take off my 15 degree, put on your 17 while I send mine in, then swap the 17 for the t500 when I get it back and give you your 17 back? I have to have a running truck. that is my issue.

Yea, exactly. You could even run it with your injectors and until you get the t500, then we'll just pull the my 17 and put the T500 in.

That sounds even better. I think I am ordering the Uppipes and t500 at the same time, so even though the t500s are backordered, I'll get my uppipes, do the turbo conversion and run it on my stock pump until the t500 comes. That way I'll only have to do one swap. Lets talk to palmer and see what he thinks.

I won't have the funds to get live tuning. working on getting my intercooler set up parts together, and rodeo season is coming up, so I'll be dirt poor. LOL

Lets get on that 6 pos chip & burner deal you found. If I can find a reasonably priced switch for the chip and you know its a good chip then I'm down. Only hold back is I'd have to wait until my return for that too. As is I'm low on funds until then.
