So I've been away from the group since about 2013, One thing going through my mind is how when I proposed/created this 6.5 performance section how some members then rebuked me for it saying I was de-railing their commentary from the 6.5 community "hiding their comments in an area less visited...

Now that I'm on road less we just mite have to resurrect some of that dead information, and create avenues for the new material to be added, I hung out a bit on FB groups for the 6.5 got discouraged with same question over and over again and no ability to post something meaningful on FB that...

Good to see some new names and many familiar ones, it looks like a lot of the tech info went into cyberspace with dead links, and 404 error codes, a LOT of work went into those :(

Well I bought Lyndons tuner tool it weren't cheap, I'm just smart enuff with it to be dangerous, I was working with Bill to try to get a decent tune for mine we were almost there, but I when I was finishing up the "project engine build" for the K1500 Bill convinced me I just had to use his HT-4...

First I want to apologize for derailing your thread WECSOG I haven't been here since about 2013 and some of the "old hands" popped in asking questions. For the rest of you, I got away from all forums for a while I needed to decompress a lot of things happening in past few years, I've missed my...
