Glad to see you are keeping your truck Chris. The 2300 should be bad ***. I like what Kyle is doing... would SERIOUSLY consider it myself but I do not have the $$ for a short block and a TVS kit. Man, those front drive TVS kits are real nice.
FWIW, I worry about bearing side load on accessories past 8-rib. 14 rib? Geesh... maybe look into driving the charger seperately. Hell, thats what GM was gonna do. Remember the upside down truck blower pics awhile back? I still have them. Maybe work with ATI if you are not in a hurry...

I don't remember the upside down truck kit...can you send me the pics?
You can call dibs on my turbo kit though 
I think you'll like it BTW, found out today I should be down there about the last 2 weeks of April or so and if everything goes as planed, should have my setup on and done and will be looking to see which track I can get kicked out of first, 
We will ALL have to get together and have some FUN!

Yeah normally his tranny guy is on him, I guess it's about time to switch it up a bit.

I think I've convinced myself that I should cog it...overdrive the **** out of it in the back so I can put a big pulley on the front for the best possible belt wrap.
14 rib on the rear pulleys...not the front I don't remember the upside down truck kit...can you send me the pics?

Take a look at the 8 bolt crank/flywheel mount... wonder if this wound up in the LS9. Cool stuff that woulda shoulda coulda hit the road.
So, I understand the method of the madness so to speak... overdrive (and cog) the back so you can run a larger pulley up front... for like you say, better wrap.
Remember this truck? Very small pulley... but what I read here on the forum the motor performed well and didn't hear anything about belt slip.
Anyway Chris should be a great project... we gotta hook up. Has Kyle been to Four Peaks?

If you look at the first pic you can see that GM had plans to drive the S/C seperately. But its front inlet front drive.

Well I ordered up my exhaust today...got a pair of Magnaflow 5x8 straight through oval mufflers, 24" long, and an X pipe coming. Also added a set of 45* slant cut tips.
Going to do all stainless mandrel bent 3", duals all the way back, doing a side exit behind the right rear tire.

I asked him how much he would charge He's coming down end of April anyway, might as well put him to work when he gets here
I hope it's quiet! I don't care much about the noise as long as it all flows well.
