Re: 68 S/C update.....

This is going to be super clean when finished! Nice work.

Re: 68 S/C update.....

Very clean work Rob! this thing is so cool. Keep up the updates.

Re: 68 S/C update.....

Great work on the intake tubing and box! This is one of my favorite rides on the forum. Are you using a O2 wideband sensor for your tuning? If so, would you mind sharing which one? Thanks.

Re: 68 S/C update.....

Awesome work Rob!

LOL, let me know if you want the dimensions. If fits right in the factory battery holder.

Thanks and I purchased a NGK/ATX wideband. The guy that has been helping me with my tune recommended it and he has a great reputation in the tuning realm (www.tampatuning.com).

Thanks! Here are some more pictures.....

Re: 68 S/C update.....

Looks real good Rob..Id get rid of the clamps and hose right before the 90 degree bend and make it all one piece..Would looks super clean.

Re: 68 S/C update.....

If he did that though I would worry about it ripping off. That's a lot of torque under the hood!

I thought about that at first, but that elbow is going to be welded to the box. There's no way it will all fit in there with everything welded together. I plan on having all the aluminum powder coated semi-gloss black. Hopefully the rubber clamps will blend in. I might even have the hose clamps powder coated black...

It's running pretty well Tom. Right now the LTFT and the STFTs are +/-3. I want to finish my cold air box before I put the finishing touches on the tune as it will affect the airflow some. Here's the last data run I did:

Thanks! I'm going to have it powder coated satin black next week. We also got my son's cab back on his PB chassis yesterday....

Re: 68 S/C update.....

I think it will look even better after you get it powder coated!

I'd like to have access to his disposable income for a while too.;)

Re: 68 S/C update.....

Both trucks look top notch. He's a lucky boy.

On another note where can I find those core support to grille filler panels at?

Re: 68 S/C update.....

They both look awesome.

Re: 68 S/C update.....

Totally beyond awesome

I think there are several companies that produce them now. I believe Rob got his from http://www.nwautofab.com/index.html . I have some that I picked up from http://undercoverinnovations.com/sho...hevy-gmc-truck .
