I will, Gotta dig it out.

So glad you didn't put black wheels on that truck. If you ever need door guards look at mine, they are the GMC units. Not to shabby for door guards. I also have a 3.5" pulley if it will fit yours and interested let me know.
See if Performance friction Company makes pads for that truck. Very good pads. Dust yes but washes off easy and not real bad.

What gear is in the truck? I found the 3.42:1 perfect because of the added torque of the blower. Still very hard not to waste tires.

Here is a grubby little video of mine going to 130mph. The speedo is a Police Tahoe unit. http://alcphoto.net/videos/truck_to_130.mp4

Sounds good!
Black wheels have their place, just not on this truck.
Wont be rocking any door guards on here. Keeping it slick as possible.
Truck has 3.73 gears in it. Will be a blast around town.
Truck looks like it runs strong!

Sure would hate to tangle my ECSB 4x4 fully loaded with that light weight you are building.

I dug it out.
I Forgot about the damage on the right end. It will need work and paint. If interested let me know and I'll find a box, provide measurements, weight, and pickup point, and email address to
send me a FedEx or UPS label to use.

**UPDATE**
I have finally come to the realization that I just don’t have the time to install this supercharger. Between family, work, and all the other hobbies i enjoy I just don’t have the time to do the install.
I am pleased to announce though, the truck is being dropped off next week to get it done. It will be installed and dyno tuned. I’m super excited to get this done FINALLY. I’ve had this supercharger for close to two years now.
will be updating once I get the truck back.
on a side note, does anyone know if the K&N air box will work with the tvs1900 kit?

If the K&N used to stock throttle body tube yes, if not probably not and you will need a stock air box.

luckily I found the stock box, so that’s going with everything else to the shop.
