That's what they use. Im gonna be patient and see what my track times are now that they tweaked it after the last time I was there. If my times aren't better than a 9.85@72 1/8 mile then Im just going to wait until Justin is back in the neighborhood and have him live tune it.

Trying really hard not to get discouraged.

Also noticed today that my driver side cab corner and rocker are starting to go really quickly. Looks like there is a split in the metal about 6" long near the very bottom.

Lol oh i don't know if that would ever really happen. Worst case I'm buying the software and will have Justin do the tunes.

I went the Auto-Cal direction, and I'm very happy with it. From what I understand, the results obtained from an Auto-Cal tune are basically the same as having a tune done in person.

Well if I can at least get something like that done soon just to double check everything from another point of view, I would feel a lot better.

On a positive note, I finally got enough miles on the cam swap to go back to synthetic. I'm using 10w-30 Amsoil signature series and the 6.0 filter(longer than 4.8/5.3). It's running pretty quiet now compared to before so you can hardly tell the valve train is any different.

Here's another video I made today just being bored. Start up, some idle clips, and revs.
