Well guys went down to Relentless Diesel on Friday and had them rework my vavlebody and downloaded Crazy Larry. Its a totally different truck. Very easy to light the tires now.
Now for some 90hp injectors,62 or 64 series turbo, and maybe try to get a used EZ as well. It never stops.

I only plan on around 500hp so probably just stick with a single. Final plans include current mods plus 90 or so HP injectors an edge ez (mild pressure box) and a turbo that allows me to pull 10k occasionally, but mostly only drivin around town. All for under a 1k.
No for real any suggestions to do this best on a budget.

Smartys are great until you get to the 06 and 07 and then the crazy larry makes more power. Weird but I've seen the dyno numbers in person same trucks, same day, smarty made more power on earlier trucks pre '06 and the later '06 & '07 make more with crazy larry. And yes that was using the TNT Revo tunes.

well I retract my previous statement then.
I think my vote for smarty is justified, It gave ol red 191HP over stock( rated HP) . But the fass pump probably gives it a couple aswell.

Can't argue with that. All that matters is your happy with what you have, no matter what brand. Its also funny how different trucks respond differently even if they are the same year, same mods everything. You certainly can't get that kinda power on your truck with a bullydog. I didn't have a chance to dyno mine while I was there but maybe I can in the future to see how much my trucks tune is actually putting down.

Dreary weekend up here!
First time I can remember, since moving north of the Red River, that it rained - non stop - for a whole weekend.
Started Friday around 3 pm and did not stop till 10 min ago!
90% chance of more coming; 1-2" before dawn Monday!
Planned to wax truck, polish front bumper and cut grass this weekend.
Accomplished none of the above! But it was a nice steady rain... and no thunderstorms/tornados .... so guess I'll stop complaining!

I didn't get anything accomplished this weekend with the rain. And last weekend had to go to Mississippi for my stepfather's funeral....so im way behind. But im not complaining....cause we can always use the rain. We have really been pretty lucky this summer as we have had SOME rain through the hot months....which is kinda unusual. And all the lakes have been mostly full up this way.
No complaints from me!

X2 Max! 
I doubt Austin plans to tow on "kill", so stock everything + fueling SW + fueling box = 500HP.
Our '05 tows to events over 23K lbs on #9... WOT on the steep grades (when the pyro passes 1500* I just turn up the radio).
