Wow, my head hurts after reading all 43 pages of this thread.
The article that Jeff referenced here; http://www.gmtruckcentral.com/articles/12200411.html is really quite informative on how to get this done.
Here is my question to all those who understand this swap: I recently did a complete rebuild of my 7.4. The only deviation from stock I did was to bore it .30 over. Everything else I replaced was stock, aside from the .30 over pistons. I'm not looking for a race engine, or torque up the wazoo. I would like to drop Passlock, rear O2, EGR, Update tire size, maybe a few other minimal things. Is it worth my time and expense to do the 411 swap, or just have my black box tuned to remove what I don't want?
From what I gathered reading all these posts, I don't really need the added benefits of the 411. I just need a simple Black Bear type tuning on my black box. Am I right?
