I could probably get by with a lower end kit, maybe just the tuner + a BAP....but for about $1000 more, I can get the big injectors, heat exchanger upgrade, elbow, JLT, etc. Seems like a decent deal. I've got some 60#'s that I could sell instead of using if I go that route. I'm trying to find out if the kit I linked includes the BAP, and some other smaller pieces... I'm finding conflicting info on the web.

Give Justin a call and ask the source. He's a great guy to deal with, and a very good tuner as well.

I can vouch for Justin. He tuned my truck via email tune, and it was great. Stand up guy as well. A buddy of mine does all his own custom tuning at his shop and knows him fairly well. He'll say the same thing.

I will vouch for Justin as well, he tuned my Shelby and is my current tuner for my 5.0L. If your looking at a TVS system you should call him because he's almost ready to release a new kit for the 5.0L that is ported and more efficient then the base roush kit, and I hate to say it but the TVS is his baby and he tunes that combo better then anyone else. I watched him install and tune 8 TVS kits at shelbyfest last year in two days and dyno tuned each one to 640/640 which was very impressive. He's a good guy and has great customer service
