Well after several months of the run around on parts, the beast is ready to fire. The downpipe will be here tomorrow and then fire in the hole. I have to say thanks to Guy at SoCal Diesel and Eric Merchant. Both helped with parts and tons of knowledge.
Here are a few pics as of today. Batteries go in tomorrow along with some coolant and the fans...

The truck when finished will be for show and hopefully some magazines. After that I am not for sure what the owner will do with it. Hopefully give it a good workout. Dyno runs and some pullin.

We fabbed that tube along with the driverside tube. I will post some pics of it tonight after I get it on. The blowoff valve is on the drivers side tube. Looks really nice.

Here are some more pics. Almost done. I fired it up for the first time today. Sounded very crisp.
Here is a link to the video. I didn't take a long video as there are a couple more things to finish up before it gets broke in... One of the main things is the new AC Lines that will fit a lot better than the stock ones...

Truck should be back to our shop by Thursday, I will have the hood and intecooler tubes installed, along with some other minor things. The truck will be displayed on our Dyno Day this coming Saturday the 17th....

Is she going to be on the dyno? Also is Tom's truck going to be there as well?

Tom's truck is here now... I am trying some different tunes with it later this week. Shon's Red LBZ will not be on the Dyno. It will be there for everyone to see, but no miles on the motor equals no dyno runs on the motor.... ;)
The red truck should be completely done on Thursday. We are waiting on RBP to send the exhaust and some intecooler hose clamps from GM. Once we get all of this we will be putting some miles and then running it on the Dyno....

Well the Dyno Day was pretty dang nice. Beautiful weather, Plenty of new friends made, and everything made it home.
I have to take some nice pics tomorrow, but here are some with the truck finished. Not cleaned, but finished...
