you guys run some high gears, tall tires, does it help the turbo get spooling on the little 4.8?

You guys have the most hacked together setups I have ever seen!

The best part is, everything you guys build plain out flys!

Good job, I'll be waiting to see what she does!

What rack are you using?

I'm thinking about deleting my Power Steering and run the truck manifolds I already have. Did you need to relocate the alternator or was it more of a weight reduction removing the alt/PS bracket?

Also, what size is your belt and where is your belt tensioner located?
