Drove it home last night,so far so good.Need to get some miles on it so the Westers PCM can fully adapt.Has some stumbling at times under certain accell,but for now i'll just blame it on the PCM needing some miles on it.I hit it about 3/4 throttle at a 10 mph roll and it barked the tires The 4.8 never did that.Cant wait to see how it runs after a couple hundred miles are on the clock

A little more driving at lunch today.It's running better the more miles I get on it.It doesnt just bark the tires from a roll now.....from a 15 mph roll it spins the tires I havent stayed in the gas to see how far,but I had to back off the gas for it to stop.Havent done any full WOT runs yet, so I dont know if I'm going to have fuel pressure problems or not.So far I'm happy with it
