That's insane. Hopefully I can go for a ride in it when it's done :)

Well the engine took a lot longer to get here because they had to load it up on a different truck. I got it today and have it in place already... I should have some pics up tomorrow.

Well it took a couple days to get everything back together. Just need a tune running rough but it sounds good. I will let you guys know the dyno numbers on Friday. Now I just gotta break in the engine and do a few oil changes. Should be around 22-23 psi on my KB 2.3

Got the truck finished and it sounds great! Just needs a tune which I scheduled for Friday with Pete. Here is some pics and the firewall modification that makes a supercharger fit without any problem at all. Also decided to put some Sonic Blue paint in the engine bay.
