Do you know if Seth is starting his own business? Was he the one in charge of the truck project?

I'm here, just watching along. Not much I can do to help out, it's up to the new ownership but if it's turbo, tuning, engine, etc. advise you need I'm always here to help.

Mike, the only thing that I could suggest would be to talk to Tracy at Speedfab (298-0005.) He does one-off turbo kits for imports as well as domestics, and I've been talking to him about doing my truck. His work is top-notch and he could definitely make you a custom kit that will work with the body lift and 4WD. Tracy's planning a turbo setup on a buddy of mine's LS1 hybrid car here in town and has been on LS1tech trying to get as much info about the GEN III motors as possible before undertaking the project. He's also working on a custom turbo kit for a ZX12R as well. You can see some of his work here: www.tgfab.com
Not to take anything away from the CM kits at all--it's been proven that they work well. From the sounds of your posts though, it seems like you're looking more for a "plug-n-play" setup instead of trying to make something not really intended for your setup work.

Sam got ahold of me, there is another header being made. sounds like he ordered it last week when i talked to him, just didn't let me know what was going on.
i want to go try and get a little better time as soon as this hot rod thing is done. i have been taking it easy not wanting to break it right before showing it to them. next week i am cranking it up!

Scream, I been considering that route since we talked. I just can't imagine the cost of a competely custom fabricated kit being competitive with the CM kit. I hope I am wrong. I am getting anxious to do something!
