Default Weekend mod thrash

Mods installed this weekend:

K&N drop in filter
Cut bottom of stock air box
Airaid MIT
Mike Norris catch can
ARH 1-7/8" headers and catted y
QTP stainless cutout
2" lowering shackles and 1" lift block removed.

Also have a DMH electric valve for the cutout on the way but didn't get here in time to install this weekend. I'll install it as soon as it gets here.

Doing an LS9 cam over the next two weekends and then getting tuned for everything.

Just wanted to share.

BADASS! I'm curious about the catch can....is it needed at this stage? You shouldnt be overworking the pcv system yet right? Just wondering. Also you should get before and after fender height numbers.

In for pics and update

Well I'm a dumbass and forgot to take pics during install of everything, but I can get finished pics of everything later today. Fender height is exactly 36 and 3/8" front and back. It looks so much better to me. It's super dirty right now but I'm gonna wash it today and I'll put up some pics.

About the catch can... I had that left over from my Trans Am so I just went ahead and put it on. With the mods I have, it's probably not needed, but I had it so I decided to throw it on. There was a small amount of oil in the hole on the stock intake tube where the pcv line connected to it, so i know it will be catching a little bit of oil at least.

Looks tremendous and really nice truck. I've been running the big ARH's for a couple years now, love them. Best headers out there IMO (haven't tried Kooks).
