Might be worth a call to see if he can do something custom. I'd be down for fabbing it myself but got too many other little jobs to finish on the truck...

Damn, that's some nice welding bill. On the same note as above, any interest in getting paid to make one?!?! ...pretty pretty please?

Ok guys, I'm about to [finally] order my Tony Wildman chip. I can't seem to find any contact info on his or Stealth Auotmotive's page. Anyone got a number for him?
Assuming not, maybe someone here can help with a few questions I have:
- his (and just abou all) tunes say a lot about tranny shift points. With a manual trans that doesn't affect me, so is there any difference between tow and heavy tow? Or daily and economy?
- I have stage 2 injectors from rosewood, but I believe these are not stage 2's as other vendors call them - maybe slightly smaller. Should I pick stage 1, 2 or hybrid from the drop down menu on the order page?
- under Hpop, terminator is not an option. I'm going to assume it's on par with Adrenaline, though. Any disagreements?
- same with 'aftermarket turbo' - there's just a checkbox next to it. I guess it doesn't matter which upgraded turbo you have?

If there is a comments or notes section on the order form, I would put your specifics in there. If not, then I would try and email him and let him know what you've got. I doubt there are any real differences between the things you're listing but I know I'd feel better knowing that he knew exactly what he was working with to build your tunes.
Edit: Also, I wouldn't refer to the injectors by calling them stage 2 with your tuner. Give them the specs. Jim's "Stage 2s" are 160/80 injectors. 160cc with 80% larger nozzles than stock.

The site you gave lists his number right on the front page!
And, yep, that was exactly my point Nate. I wanted to specify that flow/nozzle size but 1,2,hybrid were the only options on stealth. Good idea on the comments section though! Why didn't I think of that!?!

I would, but to be honest, it would be a while before I could get to it. I have trucks lined up to work on for people, pipes to build, e-fuel kits to build, trying to get my F150 I just traded for on the road, plus all the other little deals I have going buying, selling and trading parts and trucks.....geez, I'm tired just saying it all. I should be out there working now...
I feel that!!

I did talk to Matt from Irate Diesel the other day and they may be able to do something custom for me. I'm just waiting on a price ;-)
In other news, I got the oil up to 200 degrees the other day and she still sounds good. I just want to drive her now already, but I'm still dealing with little things like doors, power windows and locks, the bed, etc.
Oh and I may still have a slight drip from the turbo oil inlet fitting at operating temp but a little more re-torquing and hopefully it's a nonissue. It's more of just a seep now than a leak. My oil pressure fuel pump switch seems to be leaking though! Not at the fitting, but through the diaphragm body. Annoying but not a huge deal I guess.
Oh and the icp still seems to be doing weird stuff on startup. About every other time I start it, it sets the 1211 code. Usually it's fine when I clear it but it almost stalled when I cleared it once yesterday. The CEL and code came right back and the PCM saved it from stalling. Cleared the code about 5 mins later though and all was fine. ill wait until it's on the road to see if I need to swap the other icp I have in.

That's exactly what mine did from Strictly Diesel. Cheap China Shi!
