Thx man!
I am not sure but Rick has great rates. I know the system goes for $3700-3900 and all you really need are some injectors and the bas kit will work just fine. Labor for that should be easy too. Call up Rick and ask him.
He is at 10psi right now and should be hitting the dyno tomorrow with it. I am so excited. This is really the first time I just turned over a car to get work like this done and I have to say it is so nice not having to worry.

stopped by synergy today on the way back form pleasonton to check out your truck....its a real sleeper has a tame idle..but its gets REALLY loud... the kit looks good! the only question i have is about the down pipe on a 2wd would you still have to run it through the fender well? thats how my First ATI kit was and i got no clearance with a 2/4 drop and 20s... i really like those gauges...rick said hes yet to put it in 4hi and launch.... its going on the dyno tommrow. definitly worhty of representing norcal ls1 in the truck class on the 19th... lets hear some ET estimates....i think my truck should be good for some solid high 14s....

you know I am not sure about the piping on a lowered truck. I'll check mine out and next time I see my Ex's truck (03' GMC dropped 4x6") I'll take notes. I'm sure I'll be talkin to Dave @ STS sometime this week also and see what he says.
I'm gonna miss the super lumpy idle it used to have with teh 112 cam but I guess the whistle will make up for it huh?
Those damn guages cost an arm and a leg. I had no idea there were so pricey. I just ordered em then found out they retail at $199.99/guage! 
Hope these don't come out huge:
Everyone is under the impression that low 12s shouldn't be a problem right away. 11s once I get everything dialed in IE full boost, proper turbo sizing and tuning etc.
I guess the main thing is EVERYONE is very impressed with it and wants to do drive it around. That's pretty cool considering all these guys have 12 or 11sec LS1s

Damn, now I feel the pressure!!
Well tomorrow we will find out if the housing is too small or not and where the hell my new one is. I doubt I'll hit any good ETs if my dyno looks anything like the other STS truck's. He had the same turbo I did. Garret was supposed to have shipped my new turbo out early last week and still no sign of it.
