I might pull the front sway bar, but not sure how that would affect everyday driving.Maybe relocate the battery to the bed. Other than running slicks at the track that's all I can think of to help out with traction on the street. Oh yeah, when these Yoko's wear out I want to try some Nitto 404's.I hear they hook better.

With the heavy/wide 20's I had on, it really gave a diving out of control feeling. Also I really noticed no gain in acceleration/weight transfer. Granted I still have the wimpy 5.3 but I wouldn't pull the sway bar again.
congrats and keep it coming.

Hey thanks for the belt number Randy (my setup is different though because of my intercooler -i run F-body stuff)
I went a bought an inch and a half smaller belt. It does not slip any longer. And oh yes, it pulls way hard
I will have to hook up the ghetto boost gauge again and see what boost changed. I saw no knock at 18* advance. The intercooler works very well! I cannot even hold my hand on the pre-intercooler tube as it gets really hot, but the post intercooler tube feels like ambient air. Time to add some more timing...

1.Even in cold weather(43 degrees)-had audible detonation.

3.From a 45 mph roll-WOT= pretty nice tire spin
4.Saw 50.92 lbs/min on the MAF
5.Alky kit is leaking some at a fitting
gotta fix that
All in all I'm pretty pleased. Cant wait to get the truck to Futral for some dyno tuning to see how much he can squeaze out of it.
Ahhhhh Boost...gimme more
