I didnt even look at the boost, was concentrated on the wideband. I think I have a bad 02 sensor because it is reading zero, the other reads 1. So that maybe why she runs rough at idle. It would be dumping fuel in right because of no reading?
Timing is about 29 according to the live link software

Bronc, it has been a long time coming. I bought this setup in Jan 2012 and I never thought this day would get here but it honestly took me a while to get the parts gathered together because I waited for the deals.

I almost bought a takeoff lightning blower a few months ago for $150. I know that I still would have had $2k in it, but almost did it. The only thing that stopped me is I wanted my truck to remain reliable. Still thinking about doing it as it seems like as long as you have a good tune, its still a pretty reliable package... Within the next month I plan to order up some headers, a tuner, & do the e fan conversion. Maybe after that ill go with forced induction.. Looking forward to more vids after you get it all dialed in!

Loaded my third tune and she idles perfect, took it out about 1/3 throttle and it isn't lean. Shouldn't be long before I go 3/4 to WOT datalog! I will get video up, promise.
