Interesting situation...

Well, got the baby swamps to the shop by last friday, swamps told us we could not get the right tunes, so they had to write some up and said they would be done by monday (today)... So then we call them back today and we talked to the owner (Johnathan) and he tells us, "oh, its a ca truck... those baby swamps will barely help you, they will only give you 50hp cause it is a CA truck... I think you need the next step up ones that take more oil..." then we go "Well how much are those (says number)... Well can we get them for what I am paying now for these injectors?" And he says I can...

So I guess, at least since swamps sales rep sucks dick, I get a good deal and get teh 175/30% Injectors instead of the 150 baby swamps...

The whole situtaiton Kind-of pisses me off that they did not tell me the right thing the first time, and now it will be down to the wire to get them in before we leave for phoenix, next thursday...

So hopefully these injectors will run better and get me the 100 horses I expect!
