Should be done next week. Just ordered the 5" DS yesterday, so they are working the other items as they wait for that.

Pending everything goes as planned, could be done as early as this time next week.

Sounds like they are about 95% complete, and should have the DS tomorrow. Might just need some tuning next week and be done.

Put this in my build thread, but figured I would close this one down too.

Well, made it home with the truck. Have an issue getting the Alt to charge, so hunting that down right now. Once we figure that out, it will be ready for the street. Grabbed a quick pic of engine bay as it sits, and will update intake and clean up from here. Will be a good baseline pic to refer back on. (UPDATE: Might have just been a lose cable connection, hoping to validate when I get home later. Drove around for 15min last night and voltage held at ~13.9v)

All in all, put down right at 500/500 on the dyno when Allen was doing the shakedown tune. Only seeing 10psi with 2.9 pulley and 10%OD, so engine is moving some air.

Nice build congrats! I think you picked a great shop Allen is a pro. I unfortunately don't have the time or desire to do myself anymore. I realized I make way too much money sticking to my niche... AC and Heating contractor. Not implying I'm loaded lol those years are pre 2009 so I'm happy to pay an expert. Used to love doing everything myself but I got too dang old anyway. It's gonna be a fun driver enjoy brother!
