check out the plug wires that are going to be coming on the lS2:

Might be the style you are needing. Count me in as one of the jealous of your setup.

i might be able to get some rough video/audio tomorrow, with 2 burnt wires and open exhaust i didn't really think it was ready. i also had to tweak the stuff under the hood to keep the hoses together so it doesn't look as good as it could.

I'd say the stall now needs to be around 2500-2900rpms. Sounds low but with the added sudden increase with input torque from the turbo and that planned stroker that's going to be about right. I'd just roughly guess maybe 175-200 ft-lbs when the turbo comes alive with that bigger motor...

Very cool. Well it seems keeping MAF is easily attainable if you calibrate it for the air flow volume that's added and corrected for. Basically gaining you some head room. Doesn't sound cheap but it allows for the drivability of MAF.

took most of the day off from the truck but did do a little work tonight.
hooked up the hobs switch for the 2nd fuel pump
painted the big 90 at the throttle body
cleaned up the top piping a little, actualy made the BOV pipe section longer
supported the intercooler
hooked up the nitrous and put in 35jets
hooked up the fuel presure gauge
even cleaned up the garage a little
i have some exhaust work to do still, couple of plug wires and then some hard core tuning. then maybe next weekend get some kind of heat exchanger hooked up. probably be a couple of weeks before i have 4wd back.
