What rack are you using?
I'm thinking about deleting my Power Steering and run the truck manifolds I already have. Did you need to relocate the alternator or was it more of a weight reduction removing the alt/PS bracket?
Also, what size is your belt and where is your belt tensioner located?

we moved the alt to where the tensioner is and used a tractor supply threaded eyelet guy and made our own tensioner, its around a 43 inch 5 rib belt for a VW we use.
we just didnt want to deal with hooking it up and making a relocation bracket.

The cam having a tighter lobe is actually helping advance the exhaust in this set-up which with the 4.8 and largeish hot side on this turbo versus the c.i. is really going to help get the exhaust gas out of the motor sooner and help spool the turbo.
In this set-up it works very nicely.

ah yes we did but the 100 dollar th400 could not hold the power with teh slicks sticking.
so he is gunna drop it off to get built. it sucks, but after all this there is a new trans and converter in the car. we also have a 5.3 thats laying around we are gunna toss in while we pull the motor and trans for more cubes and power.
