It runs great huge thanks to Brian Fields from Millen,ga for the perfect tune and anwsering hundreds of questions and Rick from Trick Performance for the The turbo kit and the rest of the stuff. It's on 3.5 lbs right now and I finally got to drive on some dry roads today no traction untill 3rd gear. It does not like to tow large loads in stop and go traffic though with the stall. I had dump trailer with a little over 3 yards of wet dirt truck didnt like it so much. Once the convertor locked up it was fine but getting to 50mph sucked.
Give me a call, got an idea why the wastegate might be acting funky.

I found out the ls1 lokar oil dipstick does not work for the ly6 and truck pan the stick is too short and woulnt read oil and the handle for it ends up right under the downpipe. I had to swap valve covers from side to side to get the oil cap to clear the turbo. The preditor heads are a bit taller than the stock. The cam lopes way more than I thought it would the engine light goes crazy at stop lights due to misfire codes.
