Good eye! Those look like they might be Escalade/Avalanche to me. Not sure about the TB. Never worked on one.

What transmission are you guys using? Something like the Subaru Sti 6 speed would interesting, but I am guessing some sort of transfer case?

ok here is a few pics.
rear sheetmetal is all done wide body with vents
dash is custom with Digital Dakota gauges and a sony in dash nav/dvd unit.
Holleys new EFI system with the intake running toward the rear and the Procharger feeding it from under the dash.
18 to 20 lbs of boost should do it.
