yeah... livernois was $800-1000 just starting cost... guy was a bit of a dick to me on the phone too... so no thanks... I know theres a newer place in Livonia, probably more ford centered and not much feedback/rep to my knowledge...??? Damn, I sure miss the days when my buddy Kurt still ran things over at Wheel To Wheel on 14 and Dequindre... sure was nice to strap er down for free and go nuts.... ugh. Sucks, because I want to eventually get back into the swing of doing my own tuning with the HP Tuners software I'm used to, but I'm going to be hard pressed and hesitant to invest in that stuff again after paying the $600 for Black Bear...
as the truckster sits now with 5-6 lbs, it defiantly feels stronger, smoother & quicker than my SS did... crazy how much has changed in just 8 years... 10 lbs of boost is going to feel insane... verrrry curious what kind of times it'll be capable of then and after exhaust and dialed in tuning, best I pulled with the SS was 12.36 I believe at Milan, er maybe it was Norwalk (always had better times at norwalk, worst times at US-131 for sure)... either way, that was with extensive trans work, stall tq converter, lingenfelter GT 2-3 cam, head work, and at 12 lbs of boost... (plus a whole sha-loo of other odds and ends), it certainly feels like this truck is on board to surpass or meet that time with much less work and worry...
