[petefj40]

should have of run factory ecu no need for link....

I've heard the same. The guy that installed my motor in my 40 tried talking me into a buying a Link computer for my LS1. But after talking to a guy who tunes LS1's, he conviced me to stay with the stock computer. I know someone else who went with a Link computer with thier LS1 and have had nothing but trouble. I'm not saying that the Link system is crap. I'm sure they have their place.. But I'm happy with the stock computer.

Hey nice looking truck there mate!
