Default Video of start up and update

This was the initial start-up, follow along for the rest of the story. Will add new video later next week of the new tune.

The initial tune was "way -off". It had trouble idling, and if I put it into gear the motor died instantly. I was getting worried I had a torque converter lock-up issue it died so suddenly in gear. Found someone in St. Louis that opened up the tune and made major adjustments. Came home today and figured within 15 minutes I could throw the computer back in and try to fire it up. Heading out of town with the family, figured I would be either depressed or elated based on the results.

The tune was my issue, the motor now has no trouble idling, sounds very crisp on the throttle, and doesn't stall when put into gear. Time to move on to the exhaust next week and finish wiring up the dual fans.

Plan on going back to the tuner for a full Dino session sometime later in December.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
