    By the way Nelsons Performance PCM rocks. I got my baseline dyno numbers and will be re-dynoing (is that a word?) soon. My quarter mile times are corrected for sea level. My actual times here in Alb. at 6000ft alt. are 15.397@92.167!

    You'll enjoy the turbo kit! The LQ9 I was involved in tuning, hauled ass!!
    The kit does come complete, is a chunk of change, but you'll love the power and never look back.

    enjoy it!

    Congrats on your choice the LQ9 that farmtruc is refering to is mine. And hes right the thing hauls ass!!!!!!!!! living at that alt. I feel your pain but more boost takes care of it! Are you going to use the standard turbo? I have the upgraded 67 mm hybrid and with 60lb injectors and a snow performance meth kit I can run 10 lbs on the low boost and 15lbs . Have Allen tune your monster you can't go wrong. when you get the kit PM me and I can save you a couple of hours on install. Later Doug

    If this new job comes through soon I will seriously be shopping for a turbo for a Christmas/Birthday present for my truck... for myself! The tune WILL BE in about three weeks so more power is coming soon.
