Default My 02 SS Magnacharger/h/c/exhaust/suspension build

Well I started this build yesterday at a friends house. I'm installing my 243 heads, Comp Cam, Magnacharger kit from LM Speed, and Spohn adj LCA's, torque arm, and panhrad bar. A lot of work for a home garage to accomplish, but we'll git 'er done. Follow along for progress and updates.

Kind of a short day. Got started late, so didn't get much done today. I'll get some pics of the rocker covers and water pump that I painted tomorrow.

Looks like a "Chevrolet GT" from that picture (blower in the back).

Ask Ed @ LM Speed, I'm not sure other than a butterfly valve possibly for relief.

Yes thats the bypass valve. It opens under part throttle conditions to let the blower free wheel and not build pressure until you put your foot in it...
