    That's his amplifier. Just hadn't put the seat back in yet. Looks entirely stock inside the cab now

    I'm still a little confused by this, so curious to hear exactly how you guys have it setup.

    I went ahead and pulled the fuse block apart. The only way I could get everything to work is connect the battery to the same place it was, and leave the alt fuse in. If I pulled the alt fuse nothing worked. When I first had the battery connected to where the alt input is with the fuse still in, only some things worked. :notsure:

    The difference here being that a seventh doesn't actually work.

    I just realized I didn't actually answer your question and I thought I did. When I do this I put everything to the main stud that's on the top side of the box just one cable from the battery to that stud and then I take the other one that used to go from the fuse box to the battery and you can either internally loop it to that stud if you want to or you can just split the box and unscrew it and remove it but you do have to keep the fuse

    Hmmm, it didn't work with the battery connected directly to that stud and the white wire removed. I didn't have the tiny bolt back in though, so maybe that's the only thing connecting the alt fuse to the rest of the fuse block.

    Everything is working now with the battery connected to where the white wire was, and nothing to the stud, so maybe I'll just leave it. Wasn't hard to split the fuse block once I figured out the trick.

    The Earth's curve plus weather doesn't allow for light to pass all the way around like that. Gonna be a bummer to have a lighter truck, smaller pulley, manual trans l, and be in last place all at once. You should probably just save face and bring the Ford to take L right away

    No leaving it on the alt lug is totally fine.

    Just leave it like that.

    Nope! Haha already know I didn't win. Yo Yo Ma won instead. Not bad to loose to that legend. Doubt our category is televised either ha

    I legitimately have no clue in both truck states who would win. I think Ben might pass after 60mph, hard to tell, we couldn't put the smaller pulley on and didnt have time yet to iront the top end of the map out. It's overly rich up top still. I'm very excited to get a V2 power map into it, we will start working on that in two weeks I think. I haven't seen Ben's, running right (does it ever?) or not and Mike's with this tune is very responsive and zippy for an auto 5vz that's heavy as fuck. Just watching Mike drive it and it not having to downshift up hills and in some cases to pass was very telling of the additional power that's on tap now.

    I guess I need to try it again, but with the bolt back in for the other side of the alt fuse. :notsure:

    Wait is Gabe doing the tune or you?

    I'll take a photo tomorrow. I'm not sure how this is too confusing. I have a 4ga wire going into my stock fuse box bolted to the alt lug.

    Yeah that would have been cool! But not this time. Hopefully I'll have something there again soon.

    My friend Jayson is doing the tune, I am helping. Gabe seemed disinterested in further work. Jayson is more than qualified to do the tuning but is unfamiliar with Haltech platform. He and I are studying up to make sure we know where everything is. Lots of things similar between Haltech and other tuning platforms so we were able to do a lot of the mapping in the short time available. But obviously can't get on a Dyno right now and didn't have the opportunity to check other parameters other than what I could simulate and repeat on the street. We didn't engage long term trimming yet since the base isn't ironed out.
