    Rich fueling, safe timing, and a boost controller would be a great starting point, IMHO.

    So initially the company who installed the sc did not give me the vf tuner, when I started this rebuild I got it back. Well we went to tune this thing the other day and we kept getting some sort of error code, I dont remember the exact code, but so we found out that our micro usb cord wasn't making full contact. I stripped the jacket back this morning and was able to flash the tune. Truck fired right up and she purred nice!

    But, the charging system message popped up on the dash. Im an idiot and figured my alt was still good.. got a new alt and battery this evening, maybe tomorrow or the next day ill get around to it. Need to get the trans fluid level right before taking it for a rip

    The connection was solid, the battery had 11.8v while it was running. I had a battery maintainer/supply connected to the battery for tuning and as soon as we took that off it didn't start, tried new battery before alt, same thing

    Ig I could have been overthinking it, it could have just not produced enough power at idle, but also that alt had like 97k on it and was almost 10 years old
