Update

^ y'all crack me up lol anyways everything is 100% fully assembled. Going to bdp to pick up more trans fluid and I'll be putting some miles on it this weekend. The install was much smoother than I expected. My files are not acting right so I'll try and post pics later

Well just an update. Morgan has the truck and says it's running awesome. So I'm going to get it sat morning. That being said my bodyshop painter is behind on other projects so I'm currently waiting on him to paint my new bumpers. Since I've got a couple pulls coming up, I was gonna take my original tan bumpers to my Speedliner guy to spray. He owes me a favor so it's no cost to me but I'm wondering if gloss black sprayed bumpers would look presentable for the time being? Anybody have any ideas or pics of similar sprayed bumpers?

I would powdercoat the front one.

Yea that's a thought. But I'm not sure if my local powdercoat shop could match plat white very well. Guess I need to call them and see. I just wanted something that looks decent at the pulls since there is gonna be several shops and there trucks there. And I do have to get with JD and get my new lights rolling.

It runs sooo effing hard..... On the street tune....

And the trans made this thing feel 100hp more.

Haha, yesterday I drove the shop truck with non vgt compounds and Nathan's truck with the max powers.... Nothing cooler than driving two different 900 ish hp 6.4's in the same afternoon. Both with compounds having atmo's 80mm plus!

Well, of course the max powers carry more boost cruising. But off the line the non vgt is pretty spunky. They both smoke a lot. And both clean up once lit. I don't really know how much power either makes.

We don't have all the files from Matt yet. Once we get the tuning nailed I will load the race tune in Nathan's truck. Right know I would say Nathan's truck has more power.

I don't have the gate setup on the shop truck and it is still on canned h&s tunes. Matt sent some tunes for the shop truck today. So I'll try and do it tomorrow.

Lots of tuning and adjusting on big white 6.4's going on round here lately! I honestly think they will be less than 100hp from each other. The shop truck has smaller turbos but more fuel.

Both have the same trans just different stall converters.

Who knows. All I know is its fun....
