Yea, its vintage air,at the time it was the least exp. billet style drive syst. available. The one dissapointing thing is the water pump pulley keeps fading from black to a brown color,they warranteed the first one but its happened again.I figure when I get some time I'll send it to my own anodizer & let him take a crack at it.Other than that issue its nice

slotard · 01-07-2015, 02:12 PM

Every anodized part I've seen fades if it gets a lot of UV exposure. Some parts take longer than others, but it happens to all of them.

Installed a Modified 3/8" hose barb in my factory rad for the steam port. Just brazed it on like you would do with copper pipe. Then hit it with black spray paint for giggles. I still need to clean it up and repaint it before it goes on.

Cost a total of $2.79 from lowes and about 20 minutes of work. I like this better than the Jags That Run adaptor.

I agree but these parts have never been out of the shop

HemiChallenger71 · 01-09-2015, 05:31 PM

I thought everyone knew about tapping and threading the w/p these days...

Yep, I know about that, Just didn't want to do it. Same amount of work and same amount of money. This also allows for the steam port line to be as close to the highest point in the system as possible.

Hey Blue. How is that MAF/Air filter combo treating you? I picked one up for that clean look and then I heard from some guys that they aren't happy? What do you think? Also is that a Dirty dingo AC mount?

Air conditioning bracket is from kwikperf.com I have not had any issues with it though truck isn't done so haven't driven it much. When I had a rough tune done I was told it doesn't really do much other than restrict it basically. Not sure if I will change it or not. Not intake tubes taking up space and cluttering so to speak. We will see.

What kind of mpg's are you getting with this ls1 swap?

Street Smart · 02-10-2015, 07:59 AM

My truck has a 6.2 in it, over all gets about 16 MPG, thats with a lot of "spirited" driving. If it`s a straight road trip it will get almost 20.
