Can you tell me more about your p/s hoses? What fittings did you use, size of the line, etc. I still need to figure this out on my s10, should be similar.

Also put a 8.8 in the car and switched the whole car over to ford bolt pattern because i wanted to use my aluma stars on both cars. I have a polished set to change into if i dont like the black!

shifts great so far, had to move the linkage around a bit because of the header collector. but feels good. have not had a road test yet though
