Nothing too exciting to add. But the truck is still running strong on year #2 of the blower. 166k on the stock motor and counting.

Hell yeah brudda.

Message [MENTION=64669]jferg92[/MENTION] and tell him to do the swap. He doesn't think 91 and 10mpg is appealing.

You can run a 91 tune. I don't have anything close with 93, only 92. It's weird. BP carries 87,89, and 92 here.

93 is the best here. Race gas is around. We have good corn in the summer months. Can get E-20 to E-98. I'm tuned for E-85 but I have an E-98 setting.

My truck only runs 91, haven't had any issues. Just make sure your tuner knows what he's doing. My tune is set to run pretty rich on WOT around 10.5, it helps keeps things cool and eliminate detonation.

Hmm don't have any throttle cables but ill keep my eye out for ya.

Same fittings. Cable length and housing is a little longer. Just shorten the cable with a aluminum crimp for weight lifting. Size is 1/16 and 3/32
