Wow Nice Work.

Looks like a real sleeper except for the loud fuel pump and after you pop the hood.

What is that pipe hanging down in the front?

right now it still has the big block springs in it, yes it sits too high...I will eventually change them. Suspension wise...it already has a 4 link setup w/ 15" wide tires on it, its kinda hard to see I didnt get a good shot of that.

Fuel pump is an aeromotive one, very loud, Im going to make a aluminum tank and put a couple walbros in it eventually also.

The metal tube that I think your talking about is my tranny cooler, I just wired (rigged) it up temp to see if the car would make it around the block. Its actually mounted out of site now.

I had it out once messin with it, full boost is at 4000 rpms, im running 14psi. But the hose blew off imediatly. I figured it wouldnt spool up lower since i plan on building a bigger shortblock later, but its better than I expected. I have more tuning to do and a sticky ignition switch to fix yet. It is a 5.3L 323ci. Has 6L heads on it which brings compression to 8.6:1
