Almost finished pics Here is the red 1500 truck that I took on for a winter project.It is about 95% done and running.Has a 408ci with S85mm turbo.Pretty much everything was done in house which so far is a total of 120hr's of labor.In about 2 weeks I should have some prelim dyno #'s on pump gas.

The intercooler is an OBX 4" which we've used in the past.It has a custom radiator which the coolant system took 5 gallons so heat shouldn't be an issue.
We are street tuning it on 100% 93 octain gas.I'm thinking around 700rwhp with that tune throught the 4L80 tranny.Then we'll spray the Meth and push 14lbs of boost.We won't be pushing it too hard on the dyno.Don't want to become one of those Dyno queens that push 4 digit dyno #'s but run crappy track times.It is being built for 50/50 street /track.

I really like the power steering and alternator setup on that. I'm not sure if that is a normal setup for the trucks but it looks to make some extra room in that spot. The whole setup looks great

Looks great Don. I think you'll be happy with our S85. It should make that truck plum crazy to drive. Good luck keeping it on the road... 
Only hit 2lbs so far while doing some shakedown miles but I've never heard a turbo sound like this one.
