Not going to make it tonight, should be next week to test this out at this stage though as long as the weather is good. Then we will be doing the 102mm throttle body and changing the pulley after that.

Cool build truck looks great. What are the ultimate goals for the truck? Pretty neat switch placement there too. How do you like those guages by the way? I thought about going with those because the high and low alarm settings. They look great mounted might have to order some.

Funny story about the guages, I was doing some street tuning with the truck tonight. I was pulled off on the shoulder of the road on the highway off ramp with my hazards on reviewing my datalog. I had the ignition key on, so the guages were lit, and after about 3-4 minutes a police car was pulled behind me with the lights flashing. I had my laptop sitting in my lap leaned up straight against my steering wheel, and I rolled my window down as he walked up to me. He looks and says "Everything ok?", I said yeah and pointed at my laptop screen and I didn't know what to say, He says "Oh, tuning... Wow, look at those amazing guages, did you put those in there?" I said "Yeah" And he then said "Alright, have a good night". I was so confused, guess I wasn't expecting him to see me and know I was tuning the truck and just say carry on like so and compliment my guages, lol.
As far as the ultimate goal with this truck, right now, how fast we can make it go with stock cam/heads/torque converter and a 6 rib belt I guess. Once we think we achieve that, we will do the rest and see where we end up.
