Got the whole fuel system done, headers in, they are f-body pace setters, will get some custom 1 7/8 or 2in done later.(Dont know if Kooks 1 7/8s stepped to 2in will work) We just need some minor things to get it done!

Here's another small clip, truck already has exhaust. Still untuned, just some small adjustments to the idle, and raised to 1,000 other than that nothing else. OS still isn't converted to speed density and it need an air intake temp sensor.

Its a 454lsx trickflows 235s, flow 350s on the intake, cam is 257/262 on 110lsa. It should be making 700+ flywheel hp on motor and ill be spraying around 400 shot once I get a built 9in.

Any chance you'd be willing to post more photos of the cage, including a close-up of where it meets the cab insde and out? I'm wondering specifically how the opening is sealed to the elements.
All around bad-a** build! Inspirational for me.

have you got a "small hump floor"? I do and I'm wondering how close it is putting th 4l80e in there?

Awesome build man! Don't see many LSX's at all! sounds wicked!
