Not really any i'm running a mix of 110 and 93 and have a boost timeing retard on it witch helped out alot. I was running on just 93 and no boost timing retard and i just couldn't get the knock down even with programing.
I'm still tuning with the digital horsepower. Learning how to tune has been my biggest challange the past year or so.
  I can't wait till my shop is done and i can put it on the engine dyno and chassis dyno so i can really get it fine tuned.
  Witch reminds me my friend and i are opening up a speed shop. It will be mostly all gm performance, we will do alittle of ford and dodge.
My first project (working on right now) is making a tubular k-member/ radiator support all in one package to make these swaps go alittle easier. Also a painless( not made by painless) wiring harness.
 I'll give more info and  pic when i get them done and a price on this stuff but they have been put on hold for till feb. I have a kid on the way and need to help her out for a month or so.
I'm hoping to be up and running by march with everything.
I'll keep everyone informed
