Getting closer, starting to come together. Why are you thinking of getting rid of your AWD?
worked fine with mine and my truck is 800 lbs heavier.

i plan to push it pretty hard mark id really to like to go for 9's and keep it awd. i wish your truck would have made it through the fire to see if it would hold up over time , did you ever get to really get on it with high boost ? the nice thing is the QS denali already had a stronger rear end to start with . though i would guess the rear will hold up im worried about the front end . time will tell. the fact that 2wd will also mean less weight and less drivetrain loss. i think going 2wd would also be a huge benefit for going 9's. it wont be a track only truck so the awd will be staying for now.

Those collectors are frigg'in awesome looking. When I was down at Rick's shop looking at his "new" kit that he is selling, he was telling me those baby's run about $250 each. He told me what brand they were but for the life of me I can't remember who made them. They definetely look like they would flow great.

Beautiful work. With headers like that, I wouldn't want to wrap them!
