Programming truck

Ok quick question? I just got my tunes from Matt (thanks alot Matt!!!) and I'm going to download them in an hour or so. In the instructions it says to disconnect the fuel pump and electric fan fuses, is this required? This is my first experience with a tuner and just want to do it right.

Thanks,

Brad

the fuel pump fuse pull is for gas vehicles with only one battery. Since we have 2 batteries you will be fine, just make sure you turn off all your unneeded accessories so you don't draw the batteries down.

O.K. here's the update. Stock: 1/8 mile Best et: 9.04, 60 fott: 1.98, MPH: 68.42. Agg. Race tune, ET.:8.20, 60 foot:1.78, MPH 73.58.

When the truck was stock I could leave at 22psi but with the race tune I could only leave at 12 psi without spinning all 4. Evan or MAtt, I would like to hit the 7's but I don't have studs, do you guys think it's possible to do without studs? I love the tunes Matt, I give them a ten and F'N ten!!!!
