It was a huge task. Never again

Nope she has about an inch of clearance. I checked like 20 times before it was burned in. Our hoods sit very high.

Yea they got Jon on speed dial

I haven't got to that part just yet. But I have one as well, and I don't think it's gonna work as it's not vented. Might end up building one in the end and mount it to the core support. Unless you have a different model. Take a pic of yours and how you mount it. Is be interested in how you do that. I got lucky and my heater hoses fit perfect. That damn overflow was huge and had to go. Besides it was in the way of sticking the exhaust out the fender!

I just want to get her running at this point. It's been a long time since she has run.

Finally an update.....Fuel system is 100% done. Didn't take any pictures but it was pretty simple. Hotwire, -8an feed. 450 pump. Used original feed as return. I've made a lot of progress. Pipes are done minus downpipe. They're painted and wrapped. Wiring is all hidden and tucked. Don't beat me up too much it's still a work in progress... Hydroboost is all in and hooked up. Where did everything go?

interesting place for the drain. It won't get in the way of the balancer?

if you have any questions john just holler. I know my way around a bottle or two

Where at in NC are you?

Still s480 on corn right?

Ha you guys can stay put.... I'm gonna head to that sunshine state and be lazy

Everyone is moving to FL

Ha that's actually where im headed in like a year and a half when I'm finally a free man again...

Last I knew, he said it was almost ready minus fluids and some little odds and ends

Did you get my pm?

Send me a set man I need em lol

What do you mean carb style with a horn on top? There's a write up for pretty much every manifold you can think of. They will all work with boost. Depending on the rest of your setup will determine the appropriate manifold. There's nothing wrong with a stock manifold and boost. If you feel your slow just turn the psi up a lb or two

Used some tape to hold the pipe Together until I get it welded. As far as I got so far. My fuel system all Came in today. But i just left for Vacation for a week. Will start back up when I get home after the 13th. This good enough for now? Haha

Tacked it all together with a flux welder the. Brought it to my buddy to weld it together with his tig.

you want a hood, blow this page up! heres the link. i talked to the guy the other day and he was in the process of making a mold. http://www.performancetrucks.net/forums/show-shine-discussion-129/feeler-thread-carbon-fiber-your-gm-truck-537006/

Idk If I'd be getting my truck tuned by him after that statement

made a ton more progress, just didnt take any pictures. I always forget. Truck is torn down, new cam is installed along with ls9 gaskets (them things are thick!). started to build the hotside. will consist of two stock manifolds, 2.25" tubing, a flex coupler,and two 38mm jgs wastegates. Just have to build to crossover and mount the wastegates. The hardest part was figuring out a way to hang the heavy turbo so i could build to and from it. I took off a bunch of stuff off the passenger side, un necessary brackets. I am going to have to go with a different radiator overflow. There is no room for me to use that big thing. Might build a small custom one. Oil pan is off and summit should be delivering the -10 fitting i need to tap for oil return. Intake manifold is almost all mocked up as well. Got the 80's installed, and figured how I will do all my vacuum ports. Made a bracket to mount the FPR in the front under the TB to the valley cover. I will try to take some pictures today as I keep moving forward.

E85 has a different stoich then gas. Theres a big write up on pt.net about that topic

thats the exact reason i have a buddy developing a boost controller that will have a ton of inputs and ways to control it. needs a transbrake too

Most likely. When was the last time you had anything done at a dealership that was a reasonable price?
