Took some pics of the truck after a good wash and a trip up the mountain with the leaves changing. :rockon:

Also a little teaser pic. Swap tomorrow. Stay tuned. Taking her to the track today one last time for her last 13 second pass. Hopefully after this goes on, I can finally stop being so slow :nonono:

Here are some progress pics:

Pardon the dirty engine bay

Intercooler so clean you can eat off of it (must have had almost 3k miles on this and not a drop of oil)

Getting ready to drop the Big bad boy in today

Also last weekend I took the truck for one last run at the track on the Ported Heaton. She ran her best of 12.96 @ 105.71. It only took a while to get there! LOL :burnout:

LOL, no time for self portraits right now! I mean business. :rockon: Theres a Ford vs GM shootout in January I am hoping to represent the L's and not with a 13 second pass. :dw:

I sent Rick @ Amazon an email and he has the tune done, Im waiting on him to email the tune back to me. It's mail order tune so it will be just merely to get me to the local tuner in Phoenix who is one of our SV's at AZLOC. Then the fun begins!

I just picked up a Wideband today (I think I waited long enough to get a wideband) along with the other goodies (2400 MAF, 60# injectors, 255lph fuel pumps). Also got myself a rollpan finally.

Wow, I cant believe how much fun I have missed out on by not spending a ton of money on my truck. :thumbsup:

No self portraits this time? :dw: Do you already have an adjusted tune for that thing?

I'm not quite at the 5 digit yet but I'll be pretty darn close in about a couple months. The cobra project is starting soon as well... these aren't called money pits for nothing I guess lol

@NewKid: Thanks. The clear corners I got from ebay. I dont remember the name of the seller but Im sure if you search you'll find similar ones. Also use the Silverstar bulb for the cleanest look :coolman:

You're gonna love what this little blower is gonna do for your truck.. Just don't get to greedy with the power that they can put out. They surely can dish out more horsepower than the stock blocks can handle.:beer:

Git er done! :burnout::rockon:

Im sure the stock block wont hold up for very long, i would just like to see HOW LONG? :lol1: I have my eye set on the built block from FRPP but I have some bathroom remodelling going on right now so I have to kinda pace myself. I am ashamed to admit that home improvement gets in the way of the Lightning sometimes :bash:

And it's in!
