Hope i explained that correctly.

No problem. I take the pictures with my phone and then email them to myself. The phone gives me a choice of small, medium, or large. I always choose medium. I then open my email and dowload to my desktop. Finally, I open photobucket (I have an account) and upload the pics from my desktop. On photobucket each picture has an "img" that you can copy. I copy and paste that in the thread. I then "preview post" first to make sure the picture shows up as intended. Long process but it keeps all my pictures in an album in photobucket and I can drag them all in a folder on my desktop for future reference.
Hope i explained that correctly.

very curious to see how things shake out with the 5.3 twin turbo no intercooler. I picked up another car to start on after my nova is finished and thinking of going this route next

Yeah me too. lol They said the car was cooling down quickly and the IAT's were not bad at all. Of course this is on the dyno and not the track or street. However, I plan to add a meth/water injection to it if the IAT's are too high. Might ad it regardless.

I got the car back and was able to get a lot done, to include its first street drive. I was able to get the front end raised with very little expense. The bump stops were almost completely gone. I guess all those wheelies at the end of the season pretty much destroyed them. I replaced them with some new ones and it sits nice again.
I also got the LM1 wired in today but for some reason it did not work without the "on" button in the "on" position. Still have to read up on it. I cut off the lighter adapter and ran the red wire to my 12 volt and grounded the black. I also run an oxygen sensor. The oxygen sensor may need to be replaced.
Finally, I moved the second A1000 to the other side of the tank and wired the hobbs switch to it. It should kick on the second pump at 4psi.
After all this was done I took it for about a 6 block drive. I had my wife video when I drove by. I just accelerated a little. Nothing crazy like I would like to do. lol But I didn't want to floor it without being able to read my AFR's yet. Plus, I wanted to see if the second pump would kick on under boost. Still it drove fairly nice for the first voyage. Still have a lot of tuning to do. Next time we can lay a little rubber. Baby Steps, baby steps, baby steps.....lol

This is a picture of where I mounted the LM1 for now. Eventually I will have it mounted in my center console.

The convertor seems to be fine on the street so far but I only drove it a few blocks. Tomorrow I plan to drive it about a 10 mile round trip. We'll see.
It does sound sick though and the power is absolutely instant. Actually feels like it has more power initially then the big block. My big block really only had a lot of power on the street if you floored it. Where as this lights the tires up in all three gears just taking off and that is really without trying. Got to love that!
Also, that is with my spectre filters on the turbos though.

A little more tuning....and it now has some cheap 3" raptor exhaust. Now it is pretty darn quiet but still runs well.
I took it back out in front of the house today and tuned it some more. In the video I stomped it at 45mph in 2nd gear. It immediatelly roasted the tires and hit the rev limiter, which I set for 6200. However, once it hit third it pulls like a friggin freight train.
Enjoy.....

You have come a long way brother. Proud of your progress man. I will PM you later on where I am headed with the Lemans, but lets just say...T70 turbos, LS flanges on 5.0 Mustang Turbo headers.
