Can't,not a sponsor here. Can make an appointment anytime to dyno your truck.

Also,if you still run that Wester tune- expect to throw it in the trash.They hold the trophy for the worst tunes I've ever seen.

Easy to tell.I just hook up my scanner and you can see what the tune is doing.Hopefully it's not maxing out the knock sensors like the last truck I did.They had 27 degree's of timing with 10 degree's of KR.The end tune had 18 degree's of timing when we were done.Luckilly the owner didn't wreck his motor.

Slowhawk checked my old truck out after i did a cam swap and bolt ons with tuning i did with a predator. Told me it was way off and showd me what it should be. I sold the diablo and got a dyno tune from him, huge difference especially comparing it to my baseline run. He just tuned my current truck and does great work. Ive been pulled over 4 times since then lol, one time out pulling a cop car, i didnt know he was there hahahaha.

Nothing too nuts; Cam, Tune and a posi in the rear for now. My ultimate goal is to run high 13's to low 14 in the 1/4. I am researching cams now looking for something that builds good mid range power (think passing on the highway?) that wont require a new TC.

We do alot of custom Cams and I agree with changing the converter.
