Nervous.......

Hey people, I am goin to murillo motorsports next friday to dyno tune my truck and I am so nervous. I have to tow my brothers turbo 347 fox with me for 6 hours which I have never towed with her but it should be fun.

I am putting a 6lb lower on with a possible ported blower (will know monday), I have already done the SS bassani catback minus two rear cats, K&N filter with a FTVB<-- which is awesome) but what im nervous about is everyone I know is saying that its not goin to hold, your goin to blow it up and so on..... Can I get some stories about similar mods so I can have something to look forward to besides a new vented block? I waited a long time and worked 96 hrs a week for a year to get this thing and I dont want to hurt her.

Thanks
Fellow L lover

Don't think your going to vent it, as long as the tune is safe and your A/F ratios are under 12 you should be good. Anyways your not going to vent it on the dyno, on the street/track maybe if your tune is bad. Don't be nervous, 6lb lower isn't that bad.
