Finally happy with my setup

So I went and did smoke on the mountain yesterday and it was raining off and on so the roads were wet all day which sucks for tuning and on my way to breakfast with the group ended up racing a sd powerstroke and a duramax and developed a bad exhaust leak on cylinder 1.

my buddy that has been doing my tuneing brought his laptop so he could live tune. Well he hoped in with me and we started messing with some stuff. Before he hooked up I was able to make a solid pull threw 4th with no issues. Well after a few adjustments and a couple miles, was now unable to make solid run threw 4th so we started making pulls in 5th gear and were good for a few more miles and a couple more adjustments and then we had to stop tuning cause we couldn't safely do wot pulls cause it was breaking tires loose at 70-80mph.

I can't be anymore happy with my setup. I have been waiting years and been battled many issues and now I'm oil and air issues. Needs more of both but at this point it runs great and stays under 1350egt and holds 2800psi so it is staying this way for now

Good to see it worked for your needs I remember when my avatar had bald tires and it would spin the tires at 75mph in the middle of i-10

My tires are basically brand new 35" Goodyear wrangler mt. So that's why I am so impressed with it
