I added up all the parts that would come with a Livernois kit(mine aren't the same obviously, some are bigger and maybe a little better) And I have roughly $3200 in it. In actuality I have more like $4500 in it with fuel system, Eboost2 controller etc. Livernois's hot pipes are a better design though and coated.

Reference the long throw even with the 5.0 shifter // I have seen the same set up in an extended blown truck her in oklahoma he also has a 5.0 in his aswell // My machanic an i are talking about leaving the middle seat in and trying to fab a stick that will work with it when we install my six speed to cut down on having to lengthen the shifter when you install the center console causing the longer throw // I am hoping for the shortest throw I can get with my set up // TURBO8 HAS SOME PICS SIMILAR TO WHAT I AM GOING TO ATTEMPT WITH MY SET UP // I ALSO WANT TO TRY AND USE THE JOE GIBBS BOOT AND PART OF THE CHROME SHIFTER THAT CAME WITH MY SHORT THROW 5 SPEED I THINK IT WILL GIVE ME A UNIQUE CLEAN LOOK!!!

Well, It is postponed to next weekend. Speed Inc. drug their feet on shipping out my fuel rails then they got sent to NC. I live in AL. I caught the problem 30 mins after they sent the tracking # and they said they would get it rerouted but didn't 
They should be here tues and I'll try my best to get it together in the evenings next week. Not real happy with Speed Inc right now. They are 2 days shipping away from me and I ordered them on May 25th.

dynoed today. Multiple issues. Teething is a bitch sometimes. Had issues with tuning the 3bar so put the 1 bar map back on it and got it dialed it only @ 10lbs boost. 539hp 578tq.
The driveshaft must have been flexing on the dyno and on some high speed runs on the way home. I started getting some vibrations in the drivetrain so I slowed down and drove with traffic. 20-30 miles later there was catostrophic transmission fialure. Got it home and the driveshaft vibrations came from the tailhousing bushing walking out and pushed the seal out. I then lost all fluid and didn't know it. That was the cause of the tranny trashing of course. Just something else and more benjamins I guess
Send $$$ to the Jack *** relief fund.

Hey bro, I feal your pain. Sorry to hear about the trany, but the motor was making great power at only 10 psi. 9:1 cp right? I fear going to the track for those same reasons, I don't think the drive shaft, stock trans with 95k on it, or the stock rear end can take a good launch with that much power and weight. Hell, I fear doing my last dyno run on tuesday, I have to dail in the 3bar meth. Old Bettsy (my truck) can only take so much, with out upgrading the whole drivetran (motor,fuel system,trans,rear end, driveshaft) Great #'s for the motor, sorry to hear about the trans..
