Clearly the ones voting do not have any style/taste. Or, maybe they had squarebody envy.

Nonetheless, you have built one heckuva awesome truck and glad you got the issues sorted out too.

Keep on enjoying it and please keep us updated w/ lots of pics!

LOL. Thanks. It's all good now. It was for charity. But when you put as much time and money as most of us have and you get beat by a stock truck it is frustrating. I should have taken picks again of how I setup my fuel setup. But since I had a note 7 aka flame thrower it has been crazy with phones. 2 Note 7 phone and now a Galaxy S7 edge as a replacement. But I got it all lined out now. So more pics and more video coming. Going to put my old valve covers back on so I can drive it today. The Fab covers are not back yet. Got to get some drive time before the TN vs AL game today. Then depending on the score I might drive it some more lol.

2 weeks ago. It was a beautiful fall morning.

RodsGreen10 · 10-19-2016, 09:17 AM

So I am retractingoing my comment about the AFR valve covers. After 3 sets they sent the 3rd set was good. So I am sending the fabricated covers back. I just really like the look of the AFR valve covers. Nice gloss black powder and the AFR engraving on them. But damn 3 sets so breather holes are drilled right ****.

Love how these Borla XR1 mufflers sound.

Lol. Well the old clunker is getting a complete wiring upgrade. I can't stand wiring. But it is time it needs it.

2. Possible not set in stone yet Dakota Digital HDX gauges
3. New MSD E Curve dizzy and external coil.
4. MSD 6a CD box.
5. New intake.
6. Carpet needs installed.

Never Ending.

Actually this had crossed my mind. And I have started looking but have not found anything yet. I want something on the same level as my truck.

DrppdBlazr · 11-07-2016, 06:28 PM

Thank you I appreciate that. A lot of info on here. I got more coming this winter.

RodsGreen10 · 11-23-2016, 03:20 PM

So I went a different direction with intake. Sent back the AFR intake and got me more go fast parts lol. I got the same intake that I have but I got it ported and polished by HVH and then I got it powder coated gloss black.

RodsGreen10 · 11-23-2016, 03:24 PM

Then my HEI module took a **** on me and the dizzy was under warranty so I sent it back and upgraded it to the MSD E Curve. It will control my rev limiter plus I can setup my curve exactly how I want it. No messing with springs bushings. Just turn some dials and go.

RodsGreen10 · 11-23-2016, 03:25 PM

Well with the new dizzy I needed a coil so I got the best one for the 6 series MSD Box.

RodsGreen10 · 11-23-2016, 03:27 PM

And that leads me to the MSD 6a. I didn't get the 6AL cause my dizzy with be controlling the rev limit.

UKNOWME · 11-23-2016, 07:55 PM

Sure is a nice and shiny intake!

Thanks. I like how it looks wet lol. I am taking the polished one off the truck and trying this one out and see how I like the look. Black it out. With a touch of polished/chrome.

UKNOWME · 11-23-2016, 08:02 PM

Once you go black.....
