Lethal, since you are running the Holley system, are you using their wire harness also? Is it possible to run the Holley computer without the wire harness, and just run the wiring yourself using your old wires/connectors? The Holley system sounds very tempting but personally it’s not worth the 2 grand investment

I went with HP even though it pricey but it does so much and Use the dash as my gauge also and don’t need to buy all these gauge anymore. I’m amazed at what Holly does and how it’s basically tunes itself. One thing about having a fast truck is all the tuner wars, internet drama. So with Holly I can eliminate any tuner and all that tuner war crap. I hate being involved in drama and that to me is worth the money

I’d love to start leaning about tuning my own vehicle. It’s scary but that’s one area I don’t fully understand and I don’t like not knowing how something works.

The bolt pattern is 5x5. The rim shipping box was 28lbs. And the tire is a https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mtt-6644/

I'm very particular about the look and fit and actually have a set identical wheels and tires one size smaller that I first tried and decided not to use thinking it was as big as I could go. I made a slight fender change and decide to go 15x15 rim instead of 15x14. The 15x14 rim now has 31x12.50 slicks mounted and fit good for racing. But for street I use MT 31x16-15. You might beable to use 31x18-15 but it requires the rails to be moved.

I'm using a 9.25 with DDT 3:92 gear. Narrowed 8 inches. Torino big ford bearing cups which eliminate the c clips. Then technically ford custom length torino axles drilled for both 5x5 and 5x5.5. This allowed me to use Wilwood Torino disc brake kit without modification.

I’m jealous! I keep thinking about doing this some time so I’ll be watching how it turns out

Yeah I’m so glad I did it. Just waiting for the 7” digital dash to arrive today and hopefully start on it this weekend and get her running

Does this self tune, or will you tune it yourself, or do you have a guy to handle the hp stuff?

I’ve heard you can take tuning courses for it. Not sure if that’s included or a big extra

I was told by a lot of my LS friends that have it that is is very easy to program and they are tuners themselves. I’m about to sit down and read everything that came with it

I had these made and will paint them gomango in the center but not sure if I want to put them on the hood or the tailgate. The 5.7L badge will be removed and put in the history pile [emoji23]
