It's supposed to be done Friday. You'll have to give me a bit to get it tuned though. Plans kinda fell through for me taking it to RWTD to get a dyno tune when Katrina rolled through. Now I've got to get a second plan in motion and figure out what I'm going to do for a tune.

He should be back up and running soon. Swing through on the way down and get my generator to power the dyno so u can get it dialed in and we will all see the beast run

All the hot parts will be coated 2000+ degree black just like the turbine housing is, and the A/C line will actually be between the header and the downpipe in pretty much the stock location.. It's not where it will be once all the plumbing is done.

Good luck getting in there when Shawn isnt in there snapping pics or encouraging them to get done by this weekend. But if you can, come by Conway and pick me up.

why is it I have this overwhelming urge to see your truck make 1000+hp? For some reason I feel it can be done with this setup. Maybe its cuz I want to see a 1000hp L. Parish put down 1011hp on his LS1, so I think a TT L can do it. Damn I want to see this thing break 1000hp.

If someone will sponsor me a set of 85lb high impedence injectors, or some low impedence ones and a converter box, I'll go for 1000 +. Plus, I think I can hit 1000+ with 20psi on my setup. At least that's what I've been told on numerous occasions.

They didn't make Friday's deadline, I was a bit disappointed at that. I was down there today though and stressed how important it was that I get it back ASAP. It's coming along nicely though. They were able to fab the downpipe as a single piece, with v-band clamps on both ends for easy in-out. Here are a few updated pics.

It's not as close as it looks, plus, all the hot parts are going to be 2000+ degree coated black the same as my turbine housing is.
