Nicest truck of the bunch!
(except for the tail lights and the bed rails. )
I like the bed rails...
Most of you suck at parking

Why buy new when you can restore?

That hurts.
Although I'm still getting use to the tail lights, but I love the bed rails. They keep the snow out and give me tie-down hooks.I just got home. I have a few more pics to post. I'm working on them.
Wait, who was giving me a hard time about my dad??????
Hey Lee, where the heck were you this morning?

Who is Mark?

Mark is the guy that came with Justin. He gets the preliminary stuff done (octane, mods, preferences) so all Justin has to do is jump in and go. He helps to keep the tunes as close as possible so they can sqeeze a lot of guys in. I'm pretty sure Mark is learning how to tune too. Just a hunch.
A shot of everyone at the end of the day at the hotel (sorry Justin, hope you didn't get in trouble at all this weekend).
Driving back from lunch in the rain.

Just for comparison.
Another satisfied, no excited, no...I can't put it in words....customer.
My 350 is great! I can very easily spin the tires from a stop. Justin said that based on the numbers that it was a very good running L31. I was loosing 3% of air intake volume, but he said that may be cause by the throttle body size. Part throttle is still fairly smooth (just like I only have the Vette servo installed without the line pressure turned up), but wide open is firm. I got 18.7 MPG on the way up (almost 300 miles). I filled up before the tune and drove hard for 15 miles during the tune. I drove all the way to Rochester, MN before getting gas again (just because its the last cheap spot on the way home) and I got 19.3. That's with a slight tail wind and hauling 440lbs of cargo in the bed with the tonneau cover closed. I then filled up again when I got home, another 75 miles, and got 16.3 with a 10mph cross wind and gusting (what a pain).
I can't wait until I see what the numbers are after a month of driving.
If anyone wants these picture at full size (I've cropped and shrunk them), just send me a PM with your email address and I'll send them to you.

That would be me!
Glad you like the tune. I rolled into Rogers around 1045 today but nobody was there so I went on my merry way. I guess he is someone who is coming to meets to help set up the tune before Justin gets in and fine tweaks it.
Matt those panoramic shots are pretty killer. Imagine what they would have looked like if it was nice out and all of our trucks were clean.

I'm just giving you a hard time now. I tuned at 9:20 and was gone by 10:10. Kyle, Lee, and you never showed up. Plus there was only 1 guy left and nobody knew him.
They would have been kicka$$. Its just tricky to get a camera to focus on what's outside and not on the glass.
