Its been a while since I looked at my tuner, but I believe it has 2 USB inputs for logging, that was why I chose the gauge I did. Either way I'll talk with Ryan before buying one.

Hey you, thanks for the email address. I thought I had it, but realized I don't this evening. Great timing on your part.
Frankie,

Hehehe, yep I'm well versed in loss of memory and such........Getting old SUCKS!! I see dapper has already answered about cost. As I said I wasn't sure. Yes 100% agree contact Ryan before you buy anything for tuning. I bought the stuff he said he liked best. It may not be the only way to data log but I am a newbie when it comes to that stuff so I figured I'd get what he likes so it would be easier to get the info he wants. If I was trying to use something else I might screw it up.

Just a short post. I went onto FB and searched and found Ryan's FB page for anyone who is interested. It is Flyin' Ryan Performance and is a closed group but all you need is to join.

I started looking when my expectations weren't met by HemiFever. And that was just in initial contact after sending my money to him (only real question I had was regarding fuel injector selection). I understand he's busy, but I got the feeling that I was more of an annoyance than a paying customer. In March I'm installing the 390 stroker and will be contacting Ryan, so I'll be able to provide some insight on his abilities and customer service.

Thanks for the link and info. Good stuff.

Not much to post. Got the heads yesterday. Also worked a 17 hour day yesterday. Had a big snow storm (for this area) roll in Sunday night and drop 12" of snow below 4500 ft elevation, 18" to 24" above that.
I have lived in this area my whole life and have only seen 1 storm drop like this before, and that was the winter of '92.

Wow. If that happened here most of the county would be floating down the Colorado river. Lol

Dapepper, Hope it doesn't hit you too hard.

Got more stuff today. Cap, rotor, and wires, lifters, flywheel, and harmonic damper. Yes, the flywheel and damper are for a 318 (internal balance engine). Was going to reuse my lifters... until I cleaned them up. They where showing some heavy wear, so I said why not. Now if anyone wants to donate some 1.6 roller rockers feel free . When money allows I will add them, but for now the stock ones will go back in.
I'm down to intake manifold bolts, sensors, and tune I think for finishing this thing... plus whatever else I've forgotten about as things get bolted together.
