yes ...that is your pump Chris once we are sure everything works we will hook you up.

sorry to shock some with the price, but for what's involved and the quality it really is not a lot of money

We did not expect everyone to jump at this, but the people who really care will be the ones dumping a lot into there setup already and another $400-$500 is no biggie. I am sorry this may not fit into everyones budget, but lets see where everything ends up.

I am going to get some rest now to head out early for the shoot out.

So will A/C still work with this? Looks like it would eliminate it. I'd like to relocate the alt, but without losing a/c and power steering.

no A/C with this setup

The alt. would need to be on the drivers side to make that happen.

Larry, I was wondering if this will work with some kind of nicer looking (polished) aftermarket pump? Any thoughts?

Will you have it on your car at the Open House this weekend?

This was designed for the stock pump & yes it will be here at the Open House, but most likely just on display.

I think that would be the hot ticket right there. I seen a custom setup a guy did for himself and it had an Ls1 tensioner built in between the alt and balancer looked really clean. I believe I even have some pics of it if you would like to see them?
Let me know your progress on this, b/c I want one.

Default little update

We had done some test fitting on the car a week ago and needed a few small tweaks.

We finalized the tweaks and bolted the setup on my car yesterday. The setup fits great. The stock resevoir, and lines look as if they will all fit. I should have lines Monday to confirm this. The high side out of the PS pump just needs a little tweaking , but otherwise this is going to be a nice bolt-on setup.

I have the trans out of my car at this moment. I plan to have the car up and running next weekend. We do not want to give the final go on these until we can test them under some RPM.

1-2 weeks

We are sorry for the delay, but I have limited time due to the shop to work on my car.

thanks for reading

How about a teaser pic for everyone. Where are you going to mount the aftermarket resevoir? Have you been able to find a nice one yet?

If I only had time. I want to get the lines on first before pics. I can not get time to even do that.

The stock res. is being used and stock lines " should " work.
