    The Truck:

    Motor is mostly stock 351w. Plan for AFRs and a cam later this year.

    The plan:

    BW S366,.91 AR Housing
    BBK 1 5/8" shorties,2.5" hot side
    4" DP, steel in the motor compartment, alum back to the axle
    Vibrant Alum Muffler
    Precision Gate
    Turbosmart BOV
    Treadstone IC
    3" cold side

    Aeromotive Phantom Flex pump in the rear tank
    Braided SS lines to Professional Products rails
    Holley 66 lbs/hr injectors
    Aeromotive regulator

    Truck already has Holley HP on it,so tuning won't be a prob.


    Some of the goodies:

    Aeromotive pump mounted. Like this thing, looks like it'll work well.

      Yup, 73mm. Not looking to go crazy with the truck, just step it up some/make it a little more fun to cruise.

      SWEET!!!! Can't wait to see this come together!!!

      Once my LS Coupe is out of the way, i'm starting on a Gen 1 L turbo build. Already has 393 and using a Forced Inductions 84mm. Anxious to see how yours turns out!

      Got some shop time in the last couple days. Need another 45 and a 90 elbow to finish up the IC to TB pipe.

      This is the way I had planned on running the compressor to IC pipe, but after getting the turbo mounted, I didn't think it'd work out. Glad I was wrong.
