Awesome numbers man...congrats!! This thing should scream.

Couple questions for you...
Do you have plans for a cage on this beast? Also.. When you installed the walboro 450 did you have to use a hotwire kit as well? Looking at the aem 320 for my truck and hotwire kit seems to be recommend for anything over the 255. What did he stance end up being? 4/6?

Thanks man... it's a handful!

4/6 drop is what I did. Truck has a little rake to it in the back but I like it. Djm flip only in the rear. Djm upper and lowers up front.

Fuel system I did add a Hotwire kit to it. Had to cut and modify it a little to get it to work correctly. I'm running both pumps on at all times. Running one 450 off stock system like I previously was. Using the hot wire kit to control the second and take all the load from it. Seems to be working well so far!

Cage will be over the winter hopefully!

I love how clean that is man. Stock enough looking that most people won't notice that hairdryer under there.

And I'll prob jut order the hotwire kit to be safe and prob the single aem320. I'll only be running a small wet shot with flex fuel injectors. Won't be nearly as fuel demanding as your setup.

Default Winter upgrades slowly coming in...

Winter is upon us!! Slowly upgrading few things on the truck. Little change up! Sold the lock up circle d that wasn't performing like it should be... went with a 9.5 inch non lock PTC. So trans was removed and added a non lock valve, and overrun clutch valve! Also added a derale deep pan with cooling fins! Also picked up a set of my stiff wall slicks I won in a raffle!
