Lookin' good Jake. Is the trans you're using a 4L60 or a 4L80? What are you planning on doing for a crossmember? I can tell you from looking at one of your undercar images that you're giving up quite a bit of ground clearance by running the Hooker 1st-gen headers opposed to the new 2nd-gen specific headers. This photo I've posted up gives you a reference as to the ground clearance you can expect by running the Hooker mounts, crossmember and headers that are specific to this application. Unfortnately, the headers will not install with the current mounts you have.

Im using a 4l60e, i just moved the crossmember back and re welded the mount on it to fit. I would have bought the correct headers but they wernt available at the time.

Im just using the factory cable out of 99 chevy 1/2 ton. Fits great just had to drill the factory hole in the firewall a tiny bit bigger.


I do have two battery's in the trunk right now.

Sound System:

10 Alpine 6.5 Type R, 6 in package tray in back and 4 in front kick panels.
Powered by 3 PDX F4 s
2 Alpine Type R 10 in subs in trunk. Powered by a PDX M12
ANd a 1.5 Farad Cap

Once it gets pumping the battery slowly drains.
