Looks awesome Rob!

Been reading thru the whole build. Looks great! Going to be a lot of help to me as I joined the 6.2L/6l80e club the other night and bought a Camaro setup off Ebay. It's not quite as low as your 135 mile setup, its got 1200 miles.

Hope your ok with me asking lots of questions, I'd really appreciate any help I can get.

Hey Rob, does the Holley LS accessory bracket kit use the stock idler pulleys and alternator? Also, which water pump are you using? Thanks man.

What are you looking at for horse power with the ls? What was your old one?

The idler doesn't work or the pulleys. I used my factory water pump which has the same spacing as the truck pumps. The alternator will work also.

Here's the kit I used:

The 383 made 622 at the crank. I'm hoping for that or maybe a little more...;)

Thanks for the offer. I wish I had a stable enough schedule to plan stuff sooner instead of last minute.....

I have an 10 AN feed line that splits in to 8 AN feed line that goes to both sides of the rails and then an 8 AN return line.

Thanks guys! I got the inner cooler mounted last night. I just need to finish up the plumbing on it and that part will be done. I plan on painting it black so you won't be able to see it behind the grill.

My Speartech wiring harness should be here today. A big thanks to John! He has been great in helping me customize it for the supercharger and adapting this part that I ordered this last week from TwistMachine:

http://twistmachine.com/index.php?ma...products_id=39

:metal::metal::metal::metal:

The paddles are built by a small family run company. I did a lot of research on this product and all I could find is a bunch of great reviews! Thanks Steve.

I also need to give a shoutout to Garrett at Magncharger! He has been very instrumental in answering questions and providing parts to help my get the TVS 1900 installed properly. He was gracious enough to give me his personal cell phone and has answered numerous texts at night and during the weekends, thanks again Garrett!

Progress is being made and I've been lucky to have a lot of good companys and car guys help me out on this venture. I definitely would not be as far I am, if it wer not for their help. Soooooo...I'm not sure I'm going to make my Crusing the Coast deadline, but it won't be from lack of effort....
