How is the blower driven? The belt turns a shaft that I cant see in the pics? Maybe running along the pass. side?

EDIT: nevermind I see it now, in the top pic.

I am off to wash it!! She is dusty! I wonder where that brillo pad is
That has to be the best looking stock airbox I've ever seen on a truck and the rear supercharger drive is sweet.

I am planning a few modifications when I get it back. The small duct you see below the foam actually shields the filter from direct air. I want to trim the shield off. If you look at the picture with the hood closed you will see an opening below the trim with Chevrolet written on it and above the Bowtie. This opening is sealed against engine temp and air with the foam you see.

If you take it real easy you can get it to about 30 mpg. I cannt do that for more then a second before temptation takes over.

Tell me how you like that 6 speed, it is call the M10 and is a beefed up T56.

Thanks for cleaning her up. She has never been dirty before, at least not since I picked it up brand new.

I will tell you one thing, this SSR was not built for fat guys.
