Good luck. That's a great set up, everything from the UTE itself to the engine choice down to the eye candy ITB setup.

Any idea's how much HP over a stock (LS6?) manifold it allows?

Wow, I love the small import w/ an American LSx V-8 as much as I love Pro-Street.

Together in one package makes me want to drool like Pavlov's dogs.

Yeah, beautiful truck! Unfortunately, at 6'3" and 250#, I'd feel like a bull in a china shop wedged behind the wheel...
