Wink lightning swap

i finished the swap,added some traction bars and got the truck over to the dyno.it put out 367 h.p. with 417 lbs of torque.dont think thats too bad for a tow tune.it was 192 h.p.and 250 lbs. torque stock.could not get a print out,printer was broken,but its in the computer and i will get it later.once again thanks to mike dunn at madenterpise for the parts and all the phone calls and advice.
