It sounds like your bull-shitting just a little.
On a fresh start, how does the I-5 run? They have a little more HP than the 4.3 they replaced, but quite a bit less TQ. I've been curious if the change was good or bad.

Snake: A friend of mine has a 4dr Colorado with the I5. It's a nice little truck for what it's intended for.
Very plush, steers tight. Payload is definitely on the light side.
The motor though - It sounds better than a 4cylinder, but not like a nicely tuned 6. Gets up and goes just fine, passes on the highway without any fuss. Holds 80mph and gets in the low 20's for mileage. He uses it to haul sportbikes around and make Home-Depot runs. I never heard him complain about the power - only the payload.

I am curious as to how you routed the pipes around the gas tank..
And -- which is it? Are you getting the bigger motor or the turbo? Or both?
On a serious note..... Stop this! Please go out and play catch with the other kids or something. You are wasting your life trying to make a bunch of people you don't know believe you have something really cool. To me, this points to at least some minor psychological problem.
