Haha well when those go out in 6 months you know where to go next

From what customers have told me the only time its noticeable is at idle and cold start. The poly ones do seem more popular though for whatever reason.

This has turned out to be quite the undertaking. A lot of time to cut, splice heat shrink. Probably would have the truck running by now if I had not started this project but hopefully it will look decent when it's done.













I bet I'm not a quarter of the way done yet and have allot of hours into it.

Tried my first start up today. Ran for a second or 2 backfired and died. Waiting to hear back from atomic but hopefully I'll be driving it this weekend.

Man I can't wait to be back in my truck. I've had lots of issues slowing me down. Most of them my own from rewiring the whole truck and some of it from previous tuners doing stupid stuff. I think I've got the wiring squared away and atomic (AFP) is getting the tuning figured out. I built a 3" ss exhaust with a cut out and so far it sounds great. Nice and quiet. Tomorrow is the day I'm gonna drive her home from the shop and start braking this engine in so can start throwing boost at it. Really hoping I can get close to 800 rwhp with this setup.
