be happy! you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. The KB was unexpected for me, but things fell in certain places and I was able to do it. So just stick to it!

Hopefully I can run the un-dynoed chip for a while without many problems.

Nothing wrong with riding around with the KB chip however....thats assuming a mostly stock setup. I know that you have to fill out an in-depth form when you buy your KB blower so that they can send you a good tune but i'm not sure how much they can guarantee on their chip considering you have something like LT's. I think in the end its probly gonna be a reaaaaaaaallll good idea to get a dyno tune instead of rely on the chip with LTs. You need to contact KB and find out how confident they feel with their tune for your car, they will be honest.

And spending well over 5gs for a charger, but not spending 450 to make sure your engine is safe.... Of course I really don't know if he is getting a tune just still waiting for the answer on that.
