OK here's your reply...


Seriously, you're going to have to provide a lot more information and phrase your questions a little more clearly to get a legitimate answer.

Bradley, Tell us more about your truck.. Engine, transmission and more. Then, do you drive this truck daily or do you race it? What are your skill levels when it comes to working on your truck? Do you have tools, a shop, friends that are mechanics? I always advise beginners on small budgets to go slow. If your budget is unlimited bring the truck over to my house and I'll do all the work for you! You should fix and or replace all the things needed to return your truck to a safe dependable driver. Then improve it from there. We can help big time. Also check out the engine boards on this site.

I tried to use the Barry Grant V.F.I. unit that replaces the carb. All I got for my trouble was a ruined motor from fuel drowning. Most of the aftermarket system are going to have issues with computer interference from a "hot" ignition system.
