She's alive #2 Well it's been about a year since my last 'alive' post. Took me that long to get motivated to redo my build. I wanted to do a truck manifold setup but it didn't work out like I had hoped so I kept my OFI kit and redid the DP and some other stuff for clearance. I redid my cold side and added a turbosmart BOV and WG. Swapped out my stock alt for the speed inc setup and added some stainless radiator and heater hoses. Hopefully now nothing will melt. I still have some stuff with little clearance. Here is an engine bay shot. Hope to have it off to the tuner in a week or so. Setup is a 408 9.3:1, ETP 225 heads, W2W 242/238 turbo cam, 4l80e tranny, ls2 intake, BS3, OFI hot part, S91 turbo. I took the meth off the car so I'm hoping for around 900 at 18psi with some c16

After doing the BMR turbo K member and rerouting the DP through there I didn't really need the alt up top. It was already done though so I just left it there.

How much room do you think you would have if you just did the K-member .. im weighing options and the alt relocation is really expensive for what you get when you put a little more with it and get a k-member.

I plan to get the hot side ceramic coated over the winter. I have a roll of header wrap but I don't like the looks of it in the engine bay. Decisions decisions.
