Got my boost gauge in but lost the little compression fitting thing but stuck it in to see if it work and got 4 lbs that's on the yellow spring!!! Going to need to get a new compression fitting or something, kinda sucked almost done it and gone. Cant find it even removed the seat! Currently working on taking the box off and start fuel lines and removing the tank then 4 link build!! Was going to try it with out and make some sort of track bars figured might as well take the time and do 4 link.

Does any one have recommendations on fuel pump or pumps I want to start looking at
some pumps for my set up and cant find much. Ill be running a fuel cell so external pump or pumps return set up hp goals are unknown but I would like something that I can use for any future motors. Done once done right is my goal for this. Any advise on where to look would be much appreciated.

Got the box off the truck was going to clean up the frame and put some kbs coating on but I will wait till I get the tank out and suspension and rear done and do it all.
4 link is hopefully next after I get my trans and drive shaft stuff figured out.









Going to be removing this!

Went to go see how my trans was doing today so exited for when I get it!!
Then I seen one sitting next to mine just like it only built for 2000 hp!!! Little upset about seeing that all it has different is a stronger input and out put shaft I was told!


Ok so I want to install it my self but am worried its going do be more then I can handle and I don't feel like starting something then having them finish my mess. I know I can do the trans install but I have no clue about the trans brake wiring!

Then when I go tune I need to find out how the make it go from being a auto shifting truck to manual and have the back up lights come on and all that good stuff.
