let you know next week, have a vortech V2 here to bolt on my 80 i just picked up.
Big thing is timing control, and for tuning a microtech, or similar may help depending on the power rq.
We are shooting for 10 psi, and around 200 rwkw, and 5000-6000Tn @ wheels, as torque will be our focus more than power, with which comes economy.
I will run 2 tunes, one for 91 ron and one for 98 ron, and will carry a std intake hose so i can drop the belt, and go to limp home with the loom adaptor to plug the std computer back in should it fail in remote areas, like the Madigan etc we have planned for this truck.
3" lift, with 12" stroke shocks all round went in yesterday, and 37's on 17 x 9's as well.

it was a complete kit of a smashed 80 same year as mine, couldnt say no for $2k with BIG stainless exhaust.
Was going to turbo mine, as I had a turbo intecooled 4.5 80 before, and was happy with it, but as this is a basher on a budget, the V2 won
