just read the whole build-very nice

what are you doing for the rear diff? 8.8?

Someone posted that the two pc camaro manifolds don't work with a turbo.
They go to pcs I'd guess. The LS3 manifolds may fit flipped with slight angle mill. Call SpeedInc and ask. Intimd8 has some on his TT chevelle.
Also, Hooker has some new cast manifolds. No one has tried them yet.

I'm planning on using an 8.8/4-link/coilover combo for the rear. Its a little late to change my manifolds at this point. If the Camaro one comes apart ill just have to redo that side. The truck will be taken apart again late winter for a rebuild and a new tranny so ill be able to make any changes that are necessary then. Most of this stage is just getting everything to fit and work properly.

Thanks for all the kind words guys. I'm so anxious to start it you don't even know. I just need my other heat exchanger for the front with a bunch more fittings,my trans cooler, injectors and misc sensors and I can finally turn the key.

Haha yeah I agree. It will have a different set of wheels and tires before it hits the street. I have a whole lotta brake mods to knock out too.

Not really sure yet. I do know that I will have two sets. The street set will be polished 17", maybe 17x7 front and 17x10 rear. The drag set will most likely be black 15" steelies with skinnies up front
