Yeah, more than likely. And you'll be running 24# injectors right? They'll send you a "safe" tune for you to datalog off of. You'll then email the log to them so they can adjust the tune. I believe MPT gives you 6 months of free tune adjustments with the purchase of a tuner. They have great customer service. My tunes have been spot on.

Yup,24lbers and possibly getting a 90mm maf off of derek,if I can get a bigger tb without paying the $280 price tag of a new one I'll grab one of those also.
One thing that kinda ticked me off is I got 3 tunes,then they told me cams are extra so they'll do one free for my setup instead of the 3,when I bought the tuner it said super charged cost extra it didn't say anything about cams

Yeah, but you only need 1 tune for your build: 93 octane/***** TO THE WALL! LOL

They look a little rough lol. I'm debating on just buying a brand new set for $200. I haven't bought any used parts for the build besides heads so I'm thinking new is the way to go.

I do plan on running 91 or 93 most of the time,but if I end up broke I want a lower octane tune also lol. Plus it seems like a lot of stations can go weeks without the good stuff,they don't keep up with it as well.

I can make adapters to fit the lightning throttle body on ours but not sure how it would react during vacuum
