Sounds like an awesome setup! I will look around once I get the engine and drivetrain in line. I am looking at narrowing my rear after I get the engine running and the bugs worked out. I appreciate the help and keep up the good work.

Dialing Steve...1-800-inthegarage.
Steve, I'm sorry. You asked for a pic of my chain deflection, but I couldn't locate one. I'll only post this one & comment that the chain has about a chain-width or less of deflection.

Where are you going to locate the compressor? Did you notch the frame or are you going to use the Kwik bracket?

I'm going to notch the frame, the compressors going in the factory LS position, I HATE all the other bracketry, except the front runner systems!
