Not a lot done this weekend. Had the kids and its cold cold cold. I have a new problem though. Either the kids played in the boxes and lost the tensinor? And pully that mounts to the whipple or it wasn't shipped with the kit. So beside lengthning the alternator wire and tps wire I'm dead in the water 
guess ill call whipple moday

did some work last night...
Had to make the pully deal for the blower.. no big deal. trip to lowes.... then i had to have a water neck made becuase whipple said they have been out of stock for 4 years...
I also found a small pully
also had to heat up the ps pully to go back on. lol.. apparently parts dont fit when its like 10* out side.

Kerr,
Im excited to see how your truck does with your setup. I see you installed the XR270HR. How does your valvetrain sound? Mine sounds like a friggin Duramax and im 100% confident my setup is mint.
-XR270 cam
-Magnum roller tip rockers
-ARP adjustable studs
-Hi-Tech custom length push rods
-Comp bee-hives
-Comp lifters
It makes substancially more power no doubt. But with the tradeoff of the valve noise I would have stayed stock.
Im curious if yours sounds like mine? What valve spring PN did you use?
