Stock maf and map.

Seems to be working good for now. I only have a 5.8psi spring in the waste gate. Once I get my new trans, and install the 6.0 heads on it, then ill bump it up a few psi more. =)

I have the 6.0 heads, I haven't put them on. You have to take EVERYTHING back off. That would not be progress So you don't have any numbers?

lol no numbers

I am going to get an FLT trans in the next few weeks. That will resolve my trans issues. Then ill get it dynoed and see what it makes.

I dont think you have to take it all off. I am going to support the headers and losen the v-band clamps. it should allow me to unbolt the headers and then take the heads out. But that wont happen for a while.

Cool, let me know what you make.

You will have to take the headers off to get to the bottom bolts.

Well, I had all the cold side ran and took it off the portion that goes from the turbo to the intercooler off to paint. The other side I forgot about the coolant hoses. So I made those, and now I have to redo the one that goes from the IC to the throttle body.

Any ideas on how to run it?

I didn't really do much. Got the drain finished, got my hood ready to bolt on, and have my intake off waiting for my map sensor to come in that I ordered a month ago.
