I bitched at dirty dingo for my idler pulley relocation bracket and he seemed like a good guy. Sent me a better designed bracket for free. But if you found a stronger design, probably would be better to wait it out. How come you couldn't find any stock brackets off of an F body?

Wait, wait, wait. You plan on running 20psi through your truck?

 

Stock fbody brackets would not line up with the ac compressor, the harmonic balancer and the 2010 camaro pump. Also since i have an iron block it only uses 2 bolts to attach the alternator, aluminum blocks have a 3 bolt hole. Sooooo long story short the stock fbody brackets would not work.

 

Gottcha

 

I finally got a tracking number for the bracket. I should be back on the road thursday/friday. Then back to favorite activity, tuning

 

When your meth comes on under boost is it a seamless transition or can you tell?

 

I have only made like 1 pull with the meth on. So i really cant comment since it pegged the wideband dead rich.

My old kit is was pretty seamless but the exhaust note changed.

 

Like what this guy on ebay is offering for brackets.

I like that one piece bracket. Looks pretty solid.

 

Nice setup .... How do you like that Holley intake

 

Thanks. I changed a lot so it is hard to gauge how the intake is performing plus i have not pushed it at all yet. I have noticed 2 things about that intake.

1. The truck pulls more vacuum cruising down the highway. I take this to mean it is more efficient than my previous intake at low RPMs. Also MPG has gone up compared to when i had my old 4.10s.

2. Heatsoak.... I have not noticed an issue with high iats even in 100+ temps outside. The intake itself gets insanely hot on the outside. I went for a test drive about 20-30min. When i was done i popped the hood to work on some stuff. I had to put down a towel on the intake to keep from burning myself. Even hours later it was hot. But like i said no real impact to IATs.
