Its not that hard just took measurement's leveled the truck took more measurements then said screw it and started welding. Then just made sure I had a slight backward lean on the shocks I think it was like 5 degrees. Just need to call Viking for the hook up. This kit has everything needed http://www.summitracing.com/parts/hal-mt100k/overview/

Got the wheels in today. I had discount mount and balance one and leave me the other wheel for mock up. I need to get some S10 calipers asap and have my buddy machine them down for me. Then I can set the wheel on and see where grinding is needed.
I took the truck out to the street drags last weekend and it **** on me for the first time. First run, i ran 12.63 (i think) with the same 1st to 2nd shift problem. I had the shift point down around 4400rpm and it still over revved and I had to let out. Second run I got in the staging lanes and I watched the temp gauge go to 200, 210, 220, 230, 240, WTF. The fans quite on me and I couldn't get them back on to save my life. HPT wouldn't command them on, couldn't find a bad relay/fuse/wire ect. So I let it cool down and drove it home. It is mostly all freeway to the shop so it never got hot.
Turns out all I needed to do was disconnect the battery. I pulled the fan harness out, and everything was fine. Just needed a hard reset The track outings are getting more and more frustrating. I have been out there 3 times so far and still haven't gotten a clean run. I just fight the trans everytime. Next time out I'm just going to try and manually shift it and see what it does.
Anyways, I'm waiting for my aeromotive fuel filter to ship so I can start on the fuel system and intake swap. Before I do that, I'd like to get the truck on the dyno and see what 13psi is producing.

OEM. I tore it apart and checked all the wiring. Nothing was melted or shorted so I threw new loom on it and called it a day.
