sanded the black paint off. left with this

started polishing it

next to the chromed intake tube

the holes in the tube are for the IAT sensor and the Meth nozzle

 

Looks like I'm out a built 60e. Believe I lost 3rd gear on my way to work. From a stop it would take a sec for the trans to engage. And where its set to shift into third it just goes to neutral and free revs. I tried putting the gear selector into 3rd but it didn't change. I'll try again after work but I doubt I'll make it very far. Good thing I have free towing and roadside assistance.

 

14hour shift at work, then two hours of waiting for this

 

Do you have the 2 year warranty on the trans still?

 

Only came with a one year since I didn't use their converter. And I had the trans for about 6 months before I installed it.

 

Wow so i guess the only way to run a performance truck is built 80e or stock i am gathering from this thread?

 

Yea, I would say anything over 500hp will be happier with an 80e

 

You will gather that from any thread. lol

 

I guess it's a good thing Im only planning on making 499hp then!

 

well since the truck is down I figured it would be a good time to start doing some of the things I have been putting off.
New filter

the By-pass valve with filter

started mounting the intake tube

need to figure something out, the tube is hitting the hood. I may remove the cloth stuff under the hood.

top is the new FMIC, bottom is the Procharger 3 core


the new intercooler is a 27x8x4 with a 24x8x3.5 core. should work nicely. Just need to figure out how I want to mount it. Will have to trim some of the bumper supports to get it to fit right behind the bumper and will need a few more 3" 90* bends, or I can keep it strait and mount it about 1.5" back directly under the efans. that way would be easier.
I also got the piece on the drivers side moved to where it wont rub. I may be dropping the truck 1/2 once I get some shocks that fit. Currently running Bilstein 5100 for a 0-2" lift
