Thanks. I know we'll get it. A new motor install always has "bugs" to work out, either hardware (coil, vacuum leaks, etc) or tune. It took a couple dozen tunes to get my 396 LT1 tuned pretty close, and then another couple dozen to get it right where I wanted it.
So once I get it right I think this a really good bang-for-the-buck build for our full size trucks. Even with paying Brian for his tunes I'm still under $4000 for the whole thing, plus I've got the complete stock 350 in my garage. I could sell it and get my total cost down near $3000, but I think I'll keep it to drop back in the truck for whenever I get rid of it, and keep the 383.
