Had a few hours yesterday to mess around with the truck. My idle was off since i had no 02 sensors hooked up. I started looking at how i was going to get the y pipe from the donor truck on there. My passenger side manifold was barely touching the frame so i would bu unable to put the pipe on it. So i cut the flange off and rotated it so it would fit and rewelded it on. Worked perfectly now it doesnt rub at all.

There is some sort of notch already there not sure if other trucks have this as well but it fits nicely.

Managed to get a video today. My wifes camera sucks in the sun. I will get some better ones in the next few days. This thing is a beast and i havent really messed with the tune yet. I cant wait to pop this motor so i can swap in a 6.0!!!

Nice! It looks quick and sounds good. Those gauges look awesome.

What do you think about all the coil packs on the valve covers? I think they look a little strange... maybe I'm just not used to them.

I like the function and idea behind them but i am thinking about relocating them to clean up under the hood. Looks like too many wires for me.

you can run a cover over them to clean it up.

Also the valve covers are going to take some getting used to, for me at least. They look so flat compared to what I am used to.

I say MSD coils and hang 'em out there for everyone to see.
