Smile I can Breathe.....Finally lost the shorty's

Yup, I did it....Selling the shorty's, the LT's are on! One well used but maintained set of coated stainless LT's are on my Californian Mule. 60lb injectors are in and the truck idles smooth.


Rick in the BlueWhale, the twin turbo'd 5.3 I'm looking to kill with my Silver Harpoon. (Drew on the left)









Turning up the Meth and tuning for the new injectros, headers and Magnavolt starts tomorrow. I'm guessing 570hp/600+tq

The engine feels great. My only mechanical complaint it the little lifter tick I've had forever. The headers should even relieve some stress by improving exhaust scavenging. I wont be surprised when i see my boost has dropped a lb or so with increased hp/tq.

Then time to pulley down!
Video to come soon, maybe a short idle clip and a few passes. I don't plan on any track time 'till the heat dyes down

hey bud your driverside O2 is in the wrong position. youl experience short term failure. they are suppose to be mounted on the sides or up top but not at bottem since any moisture rests towards the bottom and can wipe out O2s. thats what i got from O2 sensor boxes and instructions and etc
