Drewbie...I got my harness from PSI today, that is some quality work for sure

Yep. I'd use them again if I ever do another swap. When I had questions they were very friendly as well.

i just got my CAI installed, it came out good. i left my battery on the passager side so i had to do a little bending to the shield but it worked out nice. i also see what you mean about the blue rubber pieces. they look out of place with all the black under my hood. so they will get changed as soon as i find some black ones.

im also doing the 3 piece cover on the motor, but im get the vortec max covers. all i really have left to do is get the PCM tuned and exhaust. i should have it done by next week then off to the dyno! i also got my spintech mufflers in today so i cant wait to hear them lol

thanks for write up on your truck i really like both of your, the black truck is clean. i want to know where you got all your lights on the front from?

I got my couplers from siliconeintakes.com

The housings I bought new off ebay, just make sure they are a good brand like TYC. The bulbs are 6000K HID from VVME. Then just amber LEDs in the parking lights.

How much did you order and what over did you use?

I ordered the 8oz

Looks very nice! I like the h2 CAI. Cant you tell me what diam the pipe is? Im running a 96mm tb and a 102mm maf. Wasn't sure if it would work without different sized couplers.

thanks

The end @ the TB is 3.5" and the end at filter is 3". I screwed up the first time I ordered the couplers and assumed they were the same dia. But nope, they are different.

Drew I think we discussed it before but I forget what all was said.

I think I might just ceramic coat the headers myself using some air dry ceramic coating. But what all will I need, just a gun? If that's the case I'm sure I can find one for cheap

A HVLP will be your best best. Can pick up one for prob $50 or so that would do the job. Besides that, just need the coating. I used an oven to bake mine but they also make the air dry. Cant tell ya how well it holds up though so you're on your own on that one. ha

I have driven the truck around a few times and drove it to work today. Its running great but when I get on it hard there is a lot of wheel hop... Im going to have to see what the deal is. I have the exact same tire and drop as my black truck and it doesnt do it at all. Only difference is my black one has air shocks whereas this one has Summit drop shocks. So that may be the case. I also am going to check the pinion angle as well to make sure its where it needs to be. I can tell its going to be a blast to drive though!

Thanks! My engine is from an 04 Silverado. I snagged the pedal and TAC module from the vehicle as well. I just wanted to be different instead of running the cable TB like everyone else. Good luck with your build!

Unless you bought it cheaper 2nd hand... :looking:
