Sorry guys

I don't get here much. Spend time as mod on S10forums lsx conversion section.

I promise, I'll be more diligent!

That thing is amazing. I would love to see the expression on peoples face when you get on it or open the hood and they don't see the stock straight 6 in there anymore LOL

Such a sleeper, and an overall awesome build. I might've just overlooked this, but what kind of converters are those?

Walbro 255 pump started losing pressure. FP was around 40 lbs at about 5lbs boost at 4,000 RPM.

The new aeromotive 340 is now making a strong 62 at WOT up to 6,000, 10lb boost. Nice pump.
