So far the the removal took about 3 hours, and it is a pita bigtime with nobody helping!!

Also had to get the converter out ASAP as one of our members purchased it.

I will be taking pictures of the HD-2 install as well as the new Billet Circle D converter. Chris over at Circle D gave me a price I could not pass up!!

I plan to have it back on the road tomorrrow night, but I had to cut my pos pacesetter y-pipe off so I will have to tig it bag together before I have exhaust.. So open headers it is!! I hate tig welding so I am sure I will put it off for a couple of days.

Is your y-pipe welded or is the pacesetter y-pipe just a pos in general:ugh2:

Its not bad until you try to take it off!!

Those U bolts they supply with the kit are bad news. Band clamps are much better...you can actually get everything apart after.

I love band clamps.

cool deal!
what's the stall rating of the billet converter?

yeah the ory is junk, that's why i had a custom one fabbed up with 3 bolt flanges.

Everyone else may want to see the new converter. But I want to see the old one. Much more exciting for me!!!!!!!!:hyper2:

Since this install took longer than epected I just finished this morning. All I can say is I need new tires big time!!

The HD-2 Shift kit has the WORST directions of any part I have ever installed. After figuring out all the parts it came down to the boost vavle wich I could not get to work so I had to end up using the orignal housing and boost valve with the updated rod.
