    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:

    Got the IC mounted.

    Got a start on the hot side.

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

      My first post here in years probably, I couldn't have picked a better one to post back on. Killer truck man, enjoy it because I've never had a first gen lightning I did have a second gen and miss it all the time. I'll have a first gen one day before I die, I do have a OBS 7.3 Diesel truck but I'd love to get a first gen L to play with like yours, it has to be too much fun on the road.

      heck yeah Brian..i'm putting together a stock shortblock 351w now..did you ever open the ring gaps up on this motor? if so,what gap did you go with? that's a tfs cam you are running as well?

      Forgot to mention that the bearings have been replaced,you might have caught that from a few pages back.

      Ring gaps haven't been touched, I don't know if the W/M is helping with that or not. IATs start around 140* and end the 1/4 at 120*. Yes,TFS cam.

      what brand ic is the one on your old GT? looks like a sheetmetal procharger...I completely forgot I have one up in the attic..i need to get it down tomorrow..did that one clear the front end pretty good? better than the treadstone would,in your opinion? thanks

      Wired up some sensors to take advantage of the IOs in the Pro Dash. Took some head scratching - and updating to the latest V5 firmware - to get them viewable over in the Holley HP. Way worth it. Now have MPH, PVAC,Water Press,Trans Press available in my datalogs.
