I have been in Mississippi for work. Just got back so I have some work to do. The programmer couldn't open the file so I have to save it again and get it to him.

I don't want to go WOT, I dont want to blow it.

Holy mother of moses, I was just out messing with the truck and got to playing around in the driveway and noticed that my wideband would read down to 15.0 or so just giving it a little throttle...so I got curious and drove it around the block. Normal driving it is about 14.5 and when I crack the throttle about 50% she goes to 12ish..but then I parked it again and it sits and idles at about 14.7-15. Keep in mind this is just the starter tune that came with my tuner I bought from him.

It idles rough at startup but maybe the computer is still learning? Beats me, but 50% felt awesome..can't wait to feel WOT!

JJ is the man is this the first truck he's tuned for you? He has always made good power and a safe tune for me in the past.

Yes, he was rec'd by Mike at madenterprise. He is nice to work with and you just can't beat the price! May wait a few days but hell it saves you hundreds. If it was race car thats different but its a daily driven truck.

From your description of the wideband it sounds like its almost dialed in! What amount of boost did ya hit?

Did it push ya back in the seat like a mustang? My time off is in a few days and ill be knee deep ripping apart my engine! I should be done by the 10th or so.
