Thanks for the info. I have been looking at some of the GT45 turbos? I like that intercooler.

Good to hear. I know when I put in my EZ EFI, I had all the wiring isolated. Separate power sources and grounds. I had heard of so many people having problems with installs, and much of it was the way wiring was routed. Glad you found your problem. Interested in seeing your video...

Managed to get a few minutes to work on the truck this weekend,it is running pretty good for sitting in the garage.
Now to figure out the tuning,timing curve and retard,fuel map.
If I can get a dry weekend to put some miles on it.

Hit the road Saturday, ran good,had to tweek it a little,still will need adjustments.
Start up still gives me a little attitude ,have to open throttle a little ,starts up rich,prime set at 50,will keep dropping it.
Put about 2 pounds of boost to it,pulled good ( a little smile),then ? ,it started popping and running rough ,i am thinking bad things,get back to the garage,checked it over,relief, two plug wires came loose and melted on the headers,will not let that happen again.
Now to find out why the afr goes to 19-23 when letting off the thottle(not under boost),seems a little too lean for comfort.

It should go lean when engine braking above about 1200 or so rpm. The injectors turn off.

Made it to the first cruise of the year.
Pleased with how it ran,still will need some tweeking as I go,I am not pushing too hard too fast,but it is pulling good,only put about 3 pounds of boost to it,no obvious lag.

Awesome, Love the color.
