couple of questions. Help a newbee understand this better.
if you shave the heads, it opens up the intake width. Are you saying you had to buy a new intake that is wider?
I had intake issues and fought with various modified allen wrenches to get it off and back on. When you say rear, only the rear jug bolts were replaced with hex head? I am assuming allen head easier for front jug and hex head for rear?
thanks in advance!

I knew some one was going to comment on that... LOL..
When I went to the 5.3 injectors, I didn't change anything in the tune so it might be running a little rich.. Gonna do a data log today and see where it is..

Just me but I'd be changing the injector size in the map before riding. You've just added roughly 35% to your fueling by not changing it.. Hate to be washing the cylinders. You don't get long to seat the rings.
