So with a setup like this can you run the canned MMC tunes or do you have to run custom tunes?

custom tunes for sure

actually 08bigrig has been running similar set up with just the 300 tunes with h&s but to get full potential out of all installed, custom tuning is the only way to go

Cool. Thanks guys!

I have just the canned tunes on the H&S with my build witch is similar to what this build is. Truck runs great and power feels really good. I am going to be switching here shortly to give Gearhead tunes a shot. I have heard nothing but good things about his tunning.

Do it Jerry! Matt's tunes are fast, clean and shift WAY better than H&S. When my build is done it will have his tunes on a mini maxx. (currently run his tunes on an SCT)

Why is the cam gear not on the cam yet? You got a way of pressing it on now that the camshaft is installed.

Shes running !!!, Its been over 11 months !!! and ive been threw every excuse in the book from the mechanic , should have dropped the truck off at one of the vendors shops here on the site , i guess i had to learn the hard way , well still alot of fuel coming from the secondary pump ? and a bunch of misc crap ( fan not coming on , t-stats seem to be holding open , and wastegate ) , I do have to say I had a boner when i saw it !!

thanks mike , ill be polishing the sheet out of it when i got her for good , i need to get a hold of you any way the reducer on the cold air intake that attaches to the atmo does not fit , i did change atmo to a 75mm stock housing so thought it would work , the reducer wouldnt go over atmo so i just put the elbow over it and tightened it , works but untill i could get with you , to see what my options are is there another reducer available?

I remember being at the beach when you were sending me emails as you started this build. Getting ready to go to the beach again so glad to see she is finally running
