You got to remember that I bought the superchips back in 2003. Lol

Blackbear, hptuners, and efilive I have heard of all them but which is a better fit for me and it all depends on who's doing the programming. gonna do some reading now. Wish some has some dynamic figures for our trucks with before and after one of them tunes.

Hp tuners and EFI live are tuning suites that you buy and use to tune your own vehicle. Blackbear performance is a guy that tunes your truck.

@L31MaxExpress Do you think the walbro at 19v will support 500 hp worth of e85? Might be worth just investing in a 450.

Truthfully it varies...Somewhere between 8.5 and 9.5:1 depending on if the rhoads lifters are in a state of high bleed off at low rpm or if they are restored at high rpm.

OK, looked those up, is that like a switch coming on at 4000rpm or do they gradually come on?

Also, didn't know if you were considering the Taylor Cable Vmax 11011 Plenum spacer for some extra air.

This actually makes me wonder if a guy could conceal some real injectors and center fed fuel rails under the stock upper intake...hmmm

I'm pretty sure that's a negative. No way full size injectors could fit. Even if they could, 150$ more you could have an actual mpfi intake that flows good.

An actual MPFI intake that will never pass smog because it lacks EGR.

That spacer will not fit unless I body lift.
