Did you contact Ryan? He should be able to custom write a tune for your bolt-ons.

he said he has had ":some success" with my application, the company doesn't support it officially, but it "should" work etc. think I will wait awhile and see if they come out with better support for it. "should" doesn't excite me, I know from experience if there is a 1 in 10 chance something won't work I am the one!

I have zero plans to do anything else, but it I can get an increase in performance I can justify the $200. The 3.9 was a decision when I bought the truck new to keep my younger tail out of trouble. Now I'm pushing 70 I wouldn't mind a bit more oomph if I can find it easily and inexpensively. I know the 3.9 has limited possibilities without large quantities of dollars but a measurable upgrade would be worth it at the right price.

I've had pretty good success with the 3.9 line. Hit me up and I'll see what I can do.
