welll after a year of dicking around with other projects and work im back at it! have a few questions though here are some pics of my hotside... the motor will be on solid mounts the turbo is a solid mount to the passenger frame rail as well im wondering if i should put a piece of flex in the long pipe coming from the passenger side truck manifold.. what do you guys think.... now is the time to do it if so since i plan to drop the stock motor out and install my finish line 4l80 and the aes 408 this week..... mocking up my midwest fab 9" tomorrow and then getting it off for coating time to kick it in gear! i also bought a nasty performance tank and will be modding it for a triple bosch external setup..... bigstuff 3 is on order...
