I ordered a nitrous outlet switch panel for the left storage compartment. I plan to wire the brake on a nitrous button as well as my 2step on a momantary on nitrous switch. I'll also use one of the other on/off switches in parallel for the same circuit for normal driving in case I have to back out of a long driveway or whatever. Also gonna re wire all my gauges, pretty much looks like a fire waiting to happen.. Someone decided it would be a good idea to tie into the fuseblock under the dash a 10a circuit and put a 25a fuse in place with a piggyback fuse tap and power a bunch of gauges, a wideband, a nitrous system and someother things.. Lol terrible. So I'm sure there's more ugly to this wiring in the cab and I'll sort it out little by little..

I also bought a new X link this one that's on the truck randomly failed and won't communicate to the tach module. It also threw truck into reduced power and a laundry list of codes. Still yet to have driven it.

Dang man. So what gauges you going with? I highly recomend speedhut. The harnesses for them alone are 10x better than my old autometers. Also the high/low warning indicators are awesome.

It already had gauges the wiring just need cleaned up and Ima put em on a relay. If I get some time I'll take some nice vids after I get it out of the shop. Hopefully next week..

Here is a pic of Dirttrackracer 4L80 crossmember.. Fits dam nice and looks good too!! Don't mind the exhaust it will be getting changed and will be making a custom x pipe under the crossmember.. After I get new headers because the current headers are cal speeds and fit like **** I had to beat the hell out of the primaries to get them to fit between the frame rails.. Pretty much the poorest fitment of a header I've ever seen.. A friend of mine his dad builds custom headers and he's hinted he wants to give it a whirl.. Multiple stepped and crazy built around the engine combo..

Pulled the pan again today and rechecked wiring and got that sorted out I think we wired backwards again. We saw a valve that was hanging out of the valve body, and it was the one for the brake. Not sure where the parts went or if they were in it.. Messaged jake on a Sunday and he helped us out and we robbed some parts from a stock valve body and some other things and got it handled. Great guy! Happy to have great support like that! thanks Jake went real smooth! Everything seems to be functioning normally. Now I'm going to clean up and redo the wiring when my nitrous outlet switch panel shows up and the new x link should be here this week hopefully and be runnin. I'm ready to get it on the Dyno and see what we're working with n/a.

Been working on cleaning up the night mare of wiring this thing has under the dash from previous gauge installs and nitrous. I'm hooking a Lingenfelter LNC-2000 2step launch controller in parallel on the trans Brake switch that way I can control my launch rpm at the track and not have to watch it. Also has a ignition retard I'm going hook in parallel with the nitrous arming switch that I plan to pull timing with in hole shot if need be. I'm gonna have a momentary on switch to bang the nitrous solonoids on the big end if needed.
