Quik Posted April 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 heres some pics of my shifter and console setup. i need to remake my leather booty/cupholder ordeal my shifter is a hurst with the stock rod then a hurst rod on top of that. if you wondering yes i could of went shorter but i like a relax'd reach an feel and i like the shifter bent like that also and you can see the small gap from the newer console that doesnt work so well with the 02 and older dashes for some reason my camera made my dash seem off in color. i also had a floursecent light above it at the time...might of been that reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quik Posted April 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 some teaser pics of the motor. NO im not using a MAF. but i have it on there to use the IAC thats inside it for now till i get my tubing made. yes there arent no fans on the truck yet. but yes i did drive it for alittle today and temps never went past 170 with my electric water pump and no fans lol also heres a pic for GMracer for my battery cable...i ran it from the bed to the red box. as you can see closely you can see the wire loom thats large. thatis my 2/0 welding cable.... now heres one for most of you.... remember i am running a Fbody alt. they are only rated at 102 amps!!!! remember my water pump draws constantly, my battery is about 15 feet away from the post [15' of cable] i have all powre in the truck. i also have a 25% slp underdrive and my volt gauge was reading around 15.5-16 volts..... so remember kiddies its not always your ALT size its the size of your cables. my alt wire is also slightly larger then stock. its the wire off a blazer. its about 8 gauge instead of typical 10guage and my ground is 2/0. i have a 2/0 from battery to frame, from motor to frame and 2 of thos factory braided lines but i did drive it today and with my A/F richer then donald trump and the base tune way off it still above 4k broke tires loose even at part throttle. this with open headers that are 3.5 collectors. also the proshifted trans is simply the eastiest trans i have ever shifted under rpms. down shifting is smoothe then my t5 in my stang. you just need to rev match it. also found out that the trans wont go in 1st unless truck is copletely stopped. which is fine since 4.88s and this motor doesnt make a huge deal starting in 2nd. i got on it some and even with it as rich as it is it still put me in the seat without going 100% throttle and without trying to break tires loose also with solid motor mounts. i noticed the entire truck moving slightly. you can see a variance of around 1/4-1/2 of the whole truck moving side to side also i put my head down next to the truck and all i felt was the compression just pushing on my head. i wasnt even under the truck just off to the side of my skirts.
