Sure! Just a quick one tho!:hehe:

Seriously, I'm not going to bash on it to much till the tranny gets built. The big tune is for kicks and giggles I am really looking forward to the turn of a switch to change from towing to DD and back with out having to get the tunner out and plug it up every time. And the economy tume is going to be a big plus with fuel steadly going up.

I wish my truck would have been like that. I might have used the tow tunes while towing instead of my race tune. Probably would have used my street tune more as well.

What a day. Ran into some bridge construction on the way to Beans so I was late. Johnathon had already started on another truck(which I totaly understand,my loss his gain). Had lunch got back to shop and started installing switch and getting tunes loaded up. Found low rail pressure, changed out FRPV with a PPE Race Valve and got that resolved. Didn't have time to dyno so looks like I won't know till next month what she is now but deffinetly "seat of the pants dyno" says its all good. Can't wait to see the final numbers. The economy tune is great, truck display said 19.6mpg. Pencil to paper said 18.5(374.8miles by 20.2 gallons), thats with playing on the way home. (poor mustang gt):woot: I'll drive it more this weekend and let yall know more.

Here is the man himself. Johnathon installing the wiring for the switch.


Here I am getting ready to leave. Thinking "do I run the hot tune or the economy tune". Decisions decisions?????


Sorry about the pics - cell phone!

More MPG numbers for ya'. It just keeps getting better. 376.8 miles by 19.8 gal makes 19.03 mpg. Just driving not really trying. Truck display is close this time, it said 19.5. Before tunning it was 17-17.5 on a good day. So if nothing else it'll pay for itself in fuel savings over the next few months.

I'll just say there's no way I'll make it. We will be so far behind on production, that I'll be surprised if we don't work some Sundays. We haven't made a car since Wed. at 9:45 AM. We know and understand what has, and is happening, but the rest of the world wants their cars.
