I think that is up to date ... Less the NOS setup ... < grin >
I'm contemplating having Todd at TCE Build me a BBK for the
rear.

Other than adding -12AN hoses to the remote oil filters, nothing since getting it back from the body shop.

Redoing front and rear suspensions, brake lines, x-factor, chip/pulley, etc. as soon as some home projects are complete.

How did the X-Factor thing work out? Ddi you have to mod it for the exhaust?


I got some catching up to do. My List:

Hardlines for the rear.
BBK for the rear (I hope)
Bigger intercooler
Bigger Tranny Cooler (I only hit the LIMP mode a couple of times, but it SUCKS!)
Xcal-2 with Sal's tunes ... (You hear me, Sal? I need a price, buddy!)

And figure out a way to get a little ( < 1" ) lower ...

And as I gets older and older, F1 Air Jacks are starting to look REALLY good!

Keep the shiney side up pard ...

I still have not installed it. Bought a 4X4 pan (thanks Chickenears) to replace the B&M. I'm probably a month off from having it installed. Now, if weekends were four days long . . .

It might help if you posted how low the truck actually is. How about measuring from the top of the wheel opening to the ground, both front and rear. FYI, stock height in the front should measure about 32 inches and the rear will be about 33 1/2, depending on the year.
