Guess the last update I will have till I do more is just some current pics. We had one nice day when I was home last time so I took the time to clay bar and wax the truck up.

That's quite the difference. Looks like I have another tool to buy.

Ya I spent some money on a nicer camera a couple years ago and got hooked. The pics I posted are just a 1/4 of what I have LOL. I work out of town a lot so it's nice to have 20 angles of the same thing so if I have an idea or am curious how something would look on my truck I have a good reference

Decided to order some new parts and redo the intake I made. Figured I could clean it up a lot and get a little better fit. Have had a few members show an interest on how to do this so will do a small write up after I get it all installed next week.

Well I bought a couple cans of the plasti dip a while back and finally got around to giving it a try. Over all I am pretty impressed with the turn out, I think I will end up getting the stock rims powder coated in the future for sure.

Truck jacked up and pulling the rims off.

Some finished pics. These were just taken the day after so they are a little dirty from going down a dirt road.

Ordered the door gauge pod and an AEM Wideband. Both should be here first of the week. Then off to get a bung welded in

Big thanks to 2007chevy5.3l. Quick response and quick turnaround time

Big thanks to 2007chevy5.3l for the door gauge mount. Looks amazing. After getting the wideband installed I meet back up with Roger for some more tuning and to really dial it in. After a couple hours of driving and a few WOT runs we got nailed it and the truck runs even more amazing now. I just wish the track was still open so I could see how she does.
