Built 4L80 tranny and semi built rear with 4.11 gears for now.Next winter it will get tubbed.

Did I mention this truck will be 80% street
The blower feed pipe is 4".This is just a mock up so far,when the motor goes in we'll finish it.

Slow,

I'm still learnin the ropes here... but will those (seemingly) stock manifolds support that turbo, or will they be somewhat of a restriction? What is the airflow limit of the stock manifolds?

I'm not flamin', just learning.
