i thought ellis did dyno tunes?

He does do dyno tunes. He just doesn't have a dyno at his own shop. So you go to another place(s) with a dyno and he uses their dyno to tune.

That is correct. He likes to use Turbo techs dyno but there are multiple shops with dynos around that will rent them to a tuner. Personaly I'd go with him again. Thing is he will get it dailed in on the dyno and driveability. A dyno tune isn't worth much if the cars not driveable. My car with a 238/242 cam drove great when he was
done. Just my. 02$

My engine is a 2002 with only 40k on it, from what i see, i dont need to upgrade my oil pump.

the other part that sucks about changin the oil pump is dropping the pan. ands then trying to get the oil pick up tube bolt started lol

when i did mine i did the heads as well. so im not sure how but you have to do something to keep the lifters from fallin down into the motor. i think you can take some pen magnets and inseerrt them into the holes for the pushrods.
