    @boostedka how has that duralast knock sensor treated you? And did you only screw it in 2/3rds and haven't had any problems with it vibrating out?

    I never had any issues with it. @Jstand had issues w CELs on his truck. Mine had no problems though. Iirc I threaded it in about 2/3. It never wanted to fall out...luckily. That thing is s hutch to get to. I put it in when I had the intake manifold off

    Well either way that's the route that I am going to go see what happens kind of kicking myself now because I remember having a stare-down with that knock sensor after I torque my cylinder head down and I have the perfect opportunity to just replace it cuz a manifold and everything was already off but it is what it is it shouldn't be that hard I'm wondering if I can just unbolt the throttle body and like leave it connected to all the coolant lines and vacuum hoses and just remove the manifold I thought about going through the wheel well but it looks like more of a hassle and plus I won't be able to tell how far i actually thread the sensor in lol

    Great to see the end result. That place is fairly well known. Roadkill has done one or two episodes there as well.

    I wouldn't mind a 2AR. The head is so beautifully designed.. 4:30 in, he starts to take the head apart.

    The 7670 wont get me to 1k... and I am not sure about running nitrous lol I do, however, want my engine to sound that good. Can I borrow your 9180 for a dyno pull? :devil:

    I can't get anyone from Paradise Racing to answer the phone or email for over 2 wks now. These guys are about to get a PayPal claim and lose out on a Haltech purchase.

    I spent over 5k there and got treated like shit when trying to call back to ask questions during the build. I wouldn’t spend another dime there honestly.

    I'm befuddled I have to pull voltage nearly to stock tune to get a decent idle but any change in load or rpm make the ft go nuts. Before I ever started anything I bumped about .2v out of each cell because I knew it was pretty rich and it was so lean it wouldn't run so I added voltage until it would idle ok and flattened out everything from -24 hg and 0 rpm to 6 psi 6k rpm for a starting point.
    Idle numbers

    Anyways @Torspd @boostedka my buddy ordered the parts and got them to his shop last night. Picked it up went straight home. Got everything done within 3 hrs started er up and no more code!!! Idk why but it feels like it's driving smoother than ever. Feels like a different truck in a way I have no complaints so far from my precision turbo from paradise racing. Looks like a quality turbo from my last one.... not trying to throw shade to ko racing because they did build a great kit but I had their turbo looked at when I was blowing smoke out the tailpipe and I dropped it off to a shop who's an authorized Garrett dealer and does a bunch of in house rebuilds and basically told me that not a single part in that turbo was made by Garrett. And somehow I starved that bitch of oil but I'm super lucky it didnt grenade lol

    Since I'm this close to nothing should i change my settings and turn the auto learn/tune thing on and see what it cN do?
