2009 Silverado ... another flipped Manifold build
#22
Got the inlet side of the intercooler done too...
ofcourse this bit is about to change a wee bit to put the MAF before the turn
#25
Also spoke to my buddy who'll be helping me tune it and he said just leave the MAF where it is for now and we'll see how the truck likes it. If it turns out to be a problem with erratic readings, well move it. I just want to have the least amount of joints and clamps.

So was able to get wastegate location sorted out some. Just need to get a bellow/flex tube short enough to fit to finish up the final piece of pipe and finish welding up the merge.
charge pipes done and ready for beads to be rolled on
cardboard tube to help with wastegate placement
wastergate location setup
cardboard tube kinda worked out good
Cardboard tube slid on top of metal tube
cut!

All major fabrication done, front grille is back on!! It's the final stretch. Started insulating the A/C and Coolant lines and relocating the Coil packs just a bit higher and got the MSD 32079 wires so that I can use a 90° boot to route the wires forward and down.
DONE!
Downpipe connected to rest of exhaust
Started wrapping...

My buddy at Arundel Performance Inc. (Also known as F-body Central).
The truck has put down 520rwhp on the old setup on 12psi on a Mustang dyno with the 4L60E ... hoping for some decent numbers but would settle for a badass street truck with good manners.
