The manifolds are pretty new so not sure there are many people running them at all. You could contact Andrew at CR Performce and talk to him. He answered every question I had and had lots of info about flow and such on them.
Thank you! I will contact him.
And good luck with your build.

Yes he is very knowledgeable and alot of stuff went right over my head. Haha Im excited to get it here and in. I have alot of stuff going on with the truck while its in the shop on the exterior and some suspension goodies. Going to start using her more offroad instead of a pavment pounder. Im really looking forward to getting her back. The tune is what I'm nervous about the most. Alot of them are data log and adjust tunes. Thats why I'm leaning toward Gearhead in hopes they can get me on the dyno and tune it.

The truck is amazing when you off-road it with the right suspension setup.I love pushing my truck to the limits.
I did tune it once only, and the shims tune worked very well for me Thanks to Adrian from Icon. Sorry I forgot to mention that I do run a stage 4 Icon setup.

The Gear head tune I have no idea about it,but I do run a MPT rune and the truck runs pretty hard but not smooth. I did order a Goose tune and waiting for my Access port to arrive.

I drove couple of goose tuned trucks ,they run hard but you feel the power kicks in with smoothness,more to a factory feeling, compared to my truck which really feels like a race truck.

If your near to Goose I guess he has a dyno.
And the reviews on his tunes are selfie explanatory.
So no harm in trying!!

That Icon setup looks pretty nice. I went with the SVC setup pretty much the same with the Fox 3.0s. Also with the SVC Baja bumper front and rear some Baja Design lights. Also getting some new wheels and tires. Be pretty much a whole new truck with the motor swap.
Yes I like the idea of a dyno tune so that way they can dial it in. I had a MPT tune on my truck for about 75k and it was fun. But looking to try out others.
Hope to have everything in and broke in before mid Sept. Have a week long trip in the Baja planned.

I won't be running a stock motor so I hope it last. I already blew that. I'll be running a RMB stage 2 long block with pocket port heads.

Oh. Well then I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious. Post dyno results!

Sweet! I'm have my stage 4 turbos and manifolds already. Just waiting on my new block.
I'll either get a Gearhead tune since they are local, a Goosetune, or 5star. I like what I hear about wgr73 and his tunes.

If you're local to Matt (Gearhead), just go to him. You will get great results with either of us but he's local to you so thats a plus.
