I missed this picture...

The angle of the primaries for number 1 and number 4 cylinders scare me a little though. Let us know how she does!!
I don't think they're angled too bad. My manifold has some angles coming off of the flange that are probably about the same.




Looks like a fun little truck. The manifold looks really nice. The only thing I might do is whenever you make the new cold pipes to clock the compressor housing down a little bit so you can run the outlet->intercooler pipe underneath the intake pipe. It might not look quite as cluttered and the intake pipe might not have to be as long.

Thanks thats exactly the plan I have in mind. Just waiting on him to bring the pipes so I can make a new pipe going to the intercooler as well as the the intake side.
