More pics will come but the turbo stuff is coming along great.I really could not be more happy with fit and finish.

 

I also picked up a 6.0 and have started to pick up some parts. Going to run the pro flo intake. going to go all pro heads and build a forged 370

progress update:

 

Well I have made a ton of forward progress on the car over the past month or two. The entire hot side is complete. and the cold side was completed as well. At first I was going to be using all mild steel but went to stainless and very pleased that I did on the hot side. Got the coils custom mounted, twin a 1000 pumps mounted, driveshaft hoop and a bunch of other miscellaneous stuff done. Got the new driveshaft made and installed, mounted remote trans cooler and shifter mount fabbed up. I am excited to get the forged 370 in it and get everything plumbed and wired then hit the rollers.

 

I am currently changing the one intercooler pipe to use the pro flo intake since I will be putting in the forged 6.0 before I get it tuned here at the first of the year and shoot for 1000+ RWHP.

 

I may be switching to a cable drive fuel pump or goto a magna fuel pump along with upping from the 83lb injectors to 160's as well. So I will have no issues making 1000-1200 on corn. I am not going to stop until I make it deep into the 8's.

Gotcha, thanks for the info as that's how/where I'm mounting mine. So u used flex sections in the hotside piping as well I take it?

 

No prob man, I used 1 stainless flex (non braided) just for ease of install. Don't really need one as mine is all solid mounts
