I really don't want to sound insensitive, but what family situation? I was under the impression that Morgan had passed away several months ago? Is there something else that I'm not aware of? Again, I don't want to sound like a heel, because I cannot fathom going through what they did, but I kind of assumed that he would be back to work now.

Be sure and let us know how that goes. I'd like to get TW tunes when the time comes, but if the customer service hasn't improved over what I have heard, I'll likely get them somewhere else. Not that I can blame the guy for focusing on things outside of work when something like they've been through is going on. Sounds to me like Tony has his priorities straight.

Tony is doing fine guys. I saw and talked to him for awhile at a race last month. He's back in the game and is doing well. No need to be nervous about doing business with him. He's one of the coolest and nicest guys I've had the pleasure of meeting and doing business with in this hobby. If he tells me he's back, I believe him.

I agree Nate. I had actually considered going with Tony after the fit I had with the chip in my other truck, but that was not long after his lose, and I didn't feel right about trying to do business with someone at a time like that, not because of fear of bad service, just out of respect for him and his family.

I haven't worked on the truck for a week and a half, but I am getting my parts all gathered up.
This is the boots and clamps for the IC, clamps for the intake, 3" pipe bends to build the IC piping, v-band flanges and v-bands for the up pipes, IH water pump, hose and filter, HPOP gasket and IPR re-seal kit. I'm still waiting on the intake boots and water pump fittings to get here, and I still need to order my chip from Tony and new gauges. I am going with the Glow Shift gauges simply for price right now. I know a lot of guys don't like them, but I never had any problem with the ones in my other truck. I have an Autometer pyro and volt gauge, and a Pro Sport boost gauge in the truck now, but they don't match at all, and I want a 3 gauge pillar pod instead of the 2 gauge.
