I'll have to look into the live tuning next RRE. Which reminds me, I need to call Jody and get mine in the mail for a reflash...I keep forgetting.

With that setup, you should be a whole lot closer to 400hp if not well over. I did 280hp with just a chip, everything else stock.

I drove 12 hours from Iowa to Ft. Worth, TX to live tune with Tony Wildman, later to find out I had issues with my injectors. But even just to meet him and for the improvements he did make on my shifting, it was well worth the trip. And like Keith said, I like a roadtrip as well so it was a good excuse.

ive received new tunes but they were never synced with all of my mods. jody said i probally have too much fuel going to injectors. there is no way of him to tell what the actual injectors are putting out unless you bench test them or physically have the truck.
