I will get a video and post it up. It is all brand new every bit of it. All mandrel bent and all TIG welded!! Complete 3" from front to back no neck downs. All custom!

Exhaust wrap wrap next and ready to roll out. Had to remove the stock shift rod for the exhaust so I could tuck it up high. But Lokar had the solution. You can see it in this pic here.

Exhaust looks nice! You can't beat mandrel bent, I wish somebody in my area would've had the equipment when I had mine done. Waiting for the video...

Thanks man. Actually that is 3 universal kits total $310. 1 X pipe kit and 2 truck over the axle kit. Then I had to buy a few odd bends. It is all mandrel and put together then all TIG welded up. 3" from front to back.

THe X pipe is a universal from Jegs which is Dynomax I believe.
The 2 over the axle kits are FlowMaster universal kits for trucks.

You and everyone else can have the same thing. I just dig deep and look and plan and get lucky when it all works haha.

Not to dump my issues on your thread, but I'm having start issues myself with the Fitech! It's different than yours I think, it takes three or four times to start and then it runs fine. Drove my truck home finally and it did great for 200 miles. Doesn't seem to matter if it's cold or hot. I put their fuel command center in hoping it would be easier but I don't know that it's all that great.

Man thAt really sucks ass man. I know the feeling. Hope you get it straightened out.

What distributor did you go with again? I've got the billet one from GM that looks like it was built by MSD with the heat module and they are junk.

Do you use vacuum advance? Need to know so I can show you which distributor you need. I do not use vacuum advance. So the part numbers will be different.

[funkatation]

I'm getting conflicting advice on it, but currently no.

No vacuum advance. Race HEI III.

Pertronix D71070 black cap. This is the one I run and love it!!
Pertronix D71071 red cap. Same but with red cap.

New rotors showed up today. This is the closest I could find that will match the Wiwood rotors when I do the rear conversion kit.

[funkatation]

So I've tried three modules on my HEI, and I can't get a consistent rpm during cranking. Most of the time it shows 0, gets enough spark to start and I see 500+. This is usually on the third try. Anyone have any ideas? Fitech says rpm during cranking is a must.

So you have tried 3 HEI modules and still no dice. Could it be that the FiTech has taken a **** lol. Check your coil also. Needs to be a thread about FiTech issues.

[funkatation]

Might have to! I've had 3 of these GM Performance Pro Billet Distributors. They come with the MSD Heat modules, and my truck does not like them! I've tried a cheap chinese module that came in a $40 distributor, and a Pertronix module yesterday. It eventually fires up and runs fine, I drove it for 200 miles and it was fine. Just getting the darn thing started!

Can't wAit to hear your exhaust. Is it loud? My truck has flow masters and it's a bit much for me.

Sound and being loud is subjective. It sounds damn good IMO. I do not like blowmasters they have a tin sound IMO. I like my Borlas. And I will get a video they have a break in period on them they will sound different now than they will after about 250-500 miles. They keep getting deeper.

[RodsGreen10]

New exhaust videos coming tomorrow. If I have time to post them tomorrow haha!!

[RodsGreen10]

Ok took a short little crappy video after I picked up my truck. Only has 5 miles on the exhaust. I will get a better video tomorrow.

Can't see the exhaust it is tucked up perfect only thing you can see is the frame.

[RodsGreen10]

Love LED headlights!! Nice being able to see in the morning!!

[RodsGreen10]

Got one side finished today. The Wilwood calipers look great.

[RodsGreen10]

A little closer view.
