Working on the wiring for the 2-step and nitrous has given me a little idea of how hard this thing is going to launch Got the brake switch set to enable the 2-step and disable the nitrous, so I can build boost. Soon as I let off the brake, the 2-step releases and the nitrous hits. Should be nasty! Finishing up the transmission this weekend...planned on just refreshing it but ended up finding pieces of brass in the filter. Turns out 3 of the 4 rear planets ate their thrust washers. No idea why But, I am getting it back together with some tighter clutch pack clearances to hold power better. Also starting the turbo kit mock-up this weekend...its about to get fun!

You gonna make enough hp to need that thing?

All joking aside, it's looking good & I'm thinking it will run pretty damn good if you can keep the heads down. When are you thinking it will be all done?

I hope the 4.8 can challenge this intercooler! Not too sure when it will be finished. Transmission goes in this weekend, turbo kit is still in the works, and I have yet to put a fuel system in it. I'd like to have it done within a month or so...we'll see I have another truck to bring back to life too!
