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

mcbassin · 01-01-2014, 08:56 PM

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

shearjs · 01-06-2014, 12:16 PM

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.

**superflysteiny** · 01-06-2014, 01:42 PM

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).

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.

okieraptor · 01-17-2014, 03:20 PM

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....

Rusbuilt · 01-26-2014, 03:13 PM

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.

builtbyKane · 01-28-2014, 08:30 PM

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?

mikeleeshields · 01-28-2014, 08:36 PM

They both look awesome.

big_al_71 · 01-28-2014, 09:57 PM

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 .
