Looks like there is only 2 or 3 inches of travel in the rear before the bumpstops hit??

Whats up with that or am I seeing things..

Nice rig..

pretty close maybe a little more, but look at the bumpstop. it compressess approx. 3 inches. it essentially collapses in itself.

one thing i have found. you do not need much compression. i always like droop more. and i even limit that also

she is running! i originally tried to use a comp. out of a 00 vette. and tried to reflash it w/ a f-body file. it would not allow me to do it. it said different operating systems???? so luckily i had another f-fody comp. on the shelf..lucky me.

i am new to the EFILIVE so if someone could tell me what i need to do w/ the other comp. to make it compatible i would appreciate it...........im just used to using the FAST XFI system....alot less paremeters

Nice rig.

Mine is in the early stages right now. Frame rails are done just need to get them cleaned up and crossmembers welded in. From there the money should start disappearing rather quickly.

What manifolds did you use? That si one of my concerns right now.

Thats an interesting pedal setup... is the throttle the small rod under the brake? I've never seen anything like that before. Same with only the 2 small gauges. What are they?

What manifolds did you use? im putting an 08 5.3 in a jeep cj, 24" between the rails and the stock truck manifolds ain't even close.

I used a set of factory stainless corvette manifolds. I cut the factory collector off a d modified the lenghth and put a different collector on them. And of course I relocated the o2 sensors as well
