radiator was a 26x19 2 row from Ebay

intercooler was a kit and it was 31x12x3 came with a bunch of 3 in pipes it was ebay as well

truck is alive again! drove it around the block really quick but it got warm fast with no fans lol.
still having a little issue with fuel pressure not being steady, i swapped out the fuel rail and regulator to a different unit so now i have to pull the bed again and put the inline pump back on which will be fun, once i get the harness from Nelson i can go back to tuning on this bitch! so nice to have it running and driving again!!!!!!
had to wash it and take a picture

I decided I wasn't gonna pay that one website $25 for some overpriced chrome adapter for my temp sensor so I took my old one and stuck it in a lathe and put the M12X1.5 threads on it myself

Just another benefit if being a machinist.... If you can't find a part you need you build It!

went to the track this weekend to see what happened, ran a best of 7.980 @ 89 mph with a 1.8 60'. talked to the tuner and were gonna jack up the timing some i was only running 6 lbs boost and 15 deg timing so hopefully that speeds it up some until i can upgrade the blower and fuel pump.

and the Garden hose i ordered haha
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ps5ca1b8d9.jpg
these AN fittings and hose ends are killing me lol they are the most expensive part of the whole fuel system and its the cheaper summit versions!!!!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psfd54a23d.jpg
hey man thanks for the setup, I made a small thread and posted a video of it idling...good luck on yours

list of crap
20 gallong ebay fuel cell
Aeromotive A1000 +100, 10 micron filters
Aeromotive boost ref regulator
Holley EFI fuel rails
-10 feed line to spliter

finally got around to relocating the battery to the bed and installing the Big red valve, which sounds fucking awesome btw...

Nice build
If you want to drop the cost of AN fittings get JIC 37deg fittings. They are interchangeable. Although JIC is typically steel and not as pretty.

what are you shooting for
Shooting for 700-800hp I don't really care about a track time, but if I had to guess I'd say mid 6's in the 1/8th and I'd be happy, I want to get it to somewhat hook on the street for fun runs though is the real goalQuote:

changed to a steve morris camshaft, and to Precision turbo 160 lb injectors and e85. pretty sure i'm gonna have to modify my intercooler and swap the ebay china core for a garrett. did a buncha cosmetic stuff just to clean things up, like computer in the dash now, stainless black coated brake lines. vibrant push lock vacume block and lines. swapped the fuel lines for PTFE hoses. new magnaflow 750 fuel pump. prolly some more stuff i'm forgetting atm.
