New Gauges

What I mean is some of these guys tune as pretty much a hobby.

Not sure if you are reading it right, I said caught up "in" tuning, as in using a wideband and datalogging with software and tuning devices. Some guys around here do it more as a hobby than a necessity.
You may be reading as caught up "on" tuning, leading you to believe I think you a caught (as in slowed down by).

IMO, without a power adder, tuning has very little to offer for the what it costs to setup on a mild NA setup.


I understood what you where saying about the caught up on tunning. I would be the 1st to tell you I am clueless on the tunning thing. I was kinda looking for a check list or a starting point for a new guy.

Without rereading the post, first place to start is run codes, that will give you an idea of whats going on, unless your running a carb, thats a different animal, like I said, didn't reread the post, stock gauges kinda suck, oil, volts, temp are the important stuff. Your lucky you have a list of mods, that is invaluable info when working on a vehicle someone else built.
Have you driven it much yet? Hows it act?
 
There is some pictures

After replacing the intake gasket it run great. Really strong. A little puff of blue smoke when wot. But just a small puff. Alot of people told me that was normal for the 5.0
