  1. Let's see how it looks with the fuel line running on top of the injectors right under the fuel rail. Wouldn't the fuel line get hot laying on the valve cover?

    No prob man. Yeah, mine is removable. Your Dad's Box should have two little square bars welded to the bottom of each side of the tank. He welded mine slightly above the bottom weld on the tank, so I had to dremel the top of the back bar to get it to slide under the stationary mount on the back of the battery tray. The other side is held down by the plastic block and bolt that's made to secure a regular battery (sold separately from Chevy). Here you can see the front square bar he welded

    Thanks man, I'm all about the plug and play! Not completely sure on the relay controller. I think it may be set up to kick the fans on either high or low depending on the temp. and temp settings. I know there is a provision to keep the pump and fans running after you turn the truck off so it cools off faster than if it were just sitting there. That setup would be sweet for a long day at the track.

    This should be interesting to see the difference
  5. That's what mine is too 10.5" multi as tight as they could make it - mine flash stalls right at 3k on 11 psi. Good luck man, hope he gets it right this time
  6. That's hilarious...total dejavu, lol He pulled that exact same shit with me too! I gave him the part number for the 6 bolt GM flywheel and then he got it right...fits like a glove! You may want to tell him to just pull my build sheet (Randy Capone) so he is sure to get yours right. Assuming your TCI flywheel is the same specs as GM. Actually, he just shipped mine back today - sent it to him to have it cut and cleaned for the new tranny

    Bro, you might as well budget in some new rubber...you're gonna need it, lol
  8. Not kidding, check it out http://www.silveradoss.com/forums/topic/85604-the-storm/page-11 Jack's the one who handled mine too, lol. I was so pissed because HE took my order and I even gave him the GM part number for my 6 bolt flywheel and he still sent me the 3 bolt! Oh yeah, Jack IS the Manager too , lol I wanted to talk to the Mgr. too because it was such a blatant f-up I thought he may have even gotten my stall incorrect. Remember, I was swapping out my Circle-D because Chris had over shot my stall by like 1k, so I was already paranoid
  9. They're Maggie rails that come with the TVS 2300 - mine are the exact same
  10. Lucky dawg - No refund for me, I have to pay!
  11. Great progress Brandon, everything's looking top notch I must say! That's funny about PI sending the 3 bolt instead of the 6 - They did the EXACT same thing to me too really pissed me off at the time

    Thanks for helping me reason with my insanity John...NOW, would you mind coming over and trying to do that with my 'ol lady, lol? I have worked very hard to get where I am today and this being my first high performance build, it's not only exciting but extremely addicting!
  13. Good luck, I hope you hit it big! You may want to give him a call too - sometimes he misses emails 702-406-0333
  14. Yeah, Mike's a good dude. I was out in Vegas last summer to play in the WSOP and I stopped by his shop to say hi and meet him. He is really busy so I would probably recommend giving him a heads up you're going to swing by. Tell him I said what's up!

    Bro, WTF man - you were supposed to say something like, "don't do it", or "that's a waste of money"...now my CC's maxxed the F*** out because of you Brandon Seriously though, after doing research on the LPE's pump flow test here Then knowing how balls deep I'm already into this build and taking a look at my tiny heat exchanger here It's almost a waste of money to upgrade the fuel system, re-plumb my whole system for the new Ice Box, slap on the smaller pulley, etc, etc, without making sure my IAT's are low enough so I can go faster, lol I SWEAR THIS IS THE LAST MOD I'M MAKING FOR AT LEAST A YEAR! I'm hoping that monster exchanger will fit in front of my 40k since, not only would it save me time and headache of lowering it down into the bumper grille, but since those fans are feeders, I think it would help cool the trans cooler while sitting in traffic on a hot summer day.
  16. x2, Chuck is taking care of me because I'm swapping to a pre 1997 80e with the lower gears

    I'm not even joking - somebody needs to stop me ...I'm inches away from clicking the "check out" button for the items in my cart on the lingenfelter site http://www.lingenfelter.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=LPE&Product_Code=L320061410#.VOn2AWB0x9A http://www.lingenfelter.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=LPE&Product_Code=TAFX410110#.VOn2m2B0x9A http://www.lingenfelter.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=LPE&Product_Code=L480340000&Category_Code=P016#.VOpBEmB0x9A
  18. Good to see you made it here to the forum Felipe - welcome! Sounds like you're getting the ball rollin with the SS and have chosen a great tuner - Zippy knows these trucks better than anyone and will hook you up with an awesome tune. Just watch your bank account...they have been known to shrink considerably once you start modding!

    After a week of searching on and off for the plug and pigtail that connect to the Flex Fuel Sensor (part # 12146121) + actually buying the connector (part # 12146121) online, which didn't come with the pigtail and basically rendered it useless, + 3 trips to the local Chevy dealer, the Chevy Parts guy finally decided to call GM because there was no listing in their book for what I needed. Oh yeah it only set me back $47.00 The plug AND pigtail needed for the Flex Fuel Sensor is....8898-7992!!!
  22. If you do move to Colorado, you can always name your truck the grim reefer
  23. Glad to hear you got the accessory drive figured out and that dirty little dingo did the trick! Keep up the good work - before you know it, you'll be roasting all fours!
