No, not yet. They said they would try and get me an update on them. Probably within the next couple weeks.

Damn you guys are going to get these intakes on way before me. I got a big box of fuel line, fittings, ect for the fuel system. I still need an 04+ tank, second hotwire kit, and hobbs. The fuel filter I ordered is backordered but should be here in a couple weeks.

I think I'm going to run the truck at the track one or two more times and get it on the dyno before I upgrade the fuel system and intake. Should be fun to see where I'm at with stockish fuel lines, and mostly stock engine parts.

I'm going to leave it bare. Should look good with the turbo and give the bay some contrast. What about you?

I am thinking about painting just the top semi-gloss black or painting the entire intake semi-gloss black.

Also good call on the gears. I am planning on switching back to 4.10s this summer. I am not liking the 3.42s at all.

I like the idea of the top being black. That would look really good. When are you going to get your truck to the track?
