I canthink of someone....

Looks great weed, how was the drive to the shop with the open headers?

Also be sure you watch your wideband and your KR with those on there. So far to get 0 KR and a nice 11.9 A/F at WOT I've had to add +7% in the lower rpm range, +2% in the mid rpm range and +2% in the high rpm range. But then again with that cam you got there and your tune you're probably alread running a little richer than what you would stock "ish". At least now you'll be able to take full advantage of your cam. I'd be willing to bet that its pulling a good bit harder than it was through the stockers

OMG!!! It was almost embarrassing!! It was SO LOUD!!!! The entire bottom of the truck seemed like it was vibrating from the noise. I tried to baby it but it really didnt help.

Im trying to get all my AFR gear connected tomorrow or Sun.

Sorry guys. I know you want one but its been raining for the past two days. Tomorrow is supposed to be dry so I will see if I can get you some

When I was doing my lift I found by brake pads are gone. So they have to get replaced tomorrow. The LC-1 and OT-1 have to get put in still. Ive got to finish the brackets for the nerfs and I still need to change my blocks in the rear. Ive got a lot to do this weekend.

I do have a CEL but thats also because I havent put in my non-foulers yet. Thats another thing on the "to-do" list.

^^^ Thats right. I do all my own work. I even made my own o2 bungs from SS at work.

LOL!!!! Thats great, when I fired up mine with just the headers it was just stupid loud, I cold only imagine driving it around like that. I'm going to bet though that your cutouts will probably give you a similar tone though....

Great... cant wait for the sound clips. Its gotta sound just beastly right now. If you add your cats back in it should tone it down and clean up the sound a little better though
