Looks like you quoted me IMO.
And with what you said right off, - yea since you quoted "me", that was for me as well.
So yea, thought it was strange you turning the other cheek, - but who knows what goes on behind anothers back?
If it was a mistake, I'll go for that. No problem.
How about we's just move on now.

Mine runs lean on bank 2 as well. I would check for exhaust leaks. Pretty sure mines been leaking at the manifold but with my 4v swap a month away I'm not too worried about it.

Here's a question, after the engine is in, I will have to take it to the exhaust shop to run the pipes back. Will I be ok running just open headers/manifolds for probably 10 miles max to the exhaust shop?

Here is a fine example of what this community is about:
I had recently conferred with @jferg92 about needing a pigtail for the intercooler pump on my supercharger build. He had access to an old wiring harness and we went through several connectors trying to find one that would work. Turns out there wasn't a compatible connector on the harness so I would have to go down to a local yard and dig one up. Well, @jferg92 then took it upon himself to order me a brand new one and had it shipped to me. I just opened the package today.
I've made many good friends on here and I enjoy being apart of others builds just as they are apart of mine. This is kind of my support group keeping me sane & focused. So thank all of you. @jferg92, @fordmotorsport, @ibd2328, @MyFX4Project, @4x4dave, @Carcrazygts2, @Jbrew and anyone else who has contributed in any way. I hope to be able to do the same for you.

That's why your running lean. Does it feel like your truck is really slow on acceleration?

I know what your saying and got your point....it's a good one, respectable. That is the way once a friendship formed.... Have to say, I attempted that and was met with one guy not trusting with his address , then being accused of trying to make a sale lol.. I mean common what would think if the shoes on the other. Btw, I don't get along with most salesmen lol, well the ones that don't how to be straight up anyway and that's what 80% maybe. Can usually see right thru them and their BS.. But yea, I can relate to what your saying charlie. There has to be trust on both sides for it to work tho. Shoot, I have allot stuff to give away unfortunately, it's added up. Crap I've collect for a project and the basket full of extra parts. Some stuff nerve opened or that I ordered two of, thinking I haven't ordered one yet. Sort of terrible about that, but when I get a project started, I like having options, in case I have to modify my train of thought. You know what I mean...I hope.
