Not much really I removed my shock brackets from stock diff and welded them back on D60 and welded new perches on top off the D60 and got rid off the flip kit.
Thank you for kind words custm2500.
Well I am just trying to contribute to this great forum by passing some knowledge and keep the motivation level up
and your right nothing feels better like a fast truck.
Update
A friend on mine is doing all exhaust welding sent me some pics yesterday.He Is all done welding pre turbo exhaust and now we need to get some waste gate pipping to get them mounted. I have to order all the piping for the wastegates today.

Turbo clamps
Welded to the Turbo
2 Wastegate"s Tial MVR 44 and 2 BOV's Tial 50mm
Here is my reliable daily driver with a fire breathing 1000 hp motor under the hood. When I go to the track I turn it up to 1500 hp. It won't set records but hell 2nd place is good enough for me!
Clearly you are being very humble and that thing is going to be a monster!!!!
As for your question Three6GMC, I think people are finaly getting tired of have a Bird, or Stang at the track. Not to mention Track and Truck are only one letter differant, they are ment to be.

curious to see how the cast manifolds do , any specific reason you used them as opposed to tubular ?

Yeah your right the rear cover sucks, the o-ring broke cause it was thinner and smaller so we used RTV instead.
As for the cast manifolds there no reason not too, they are stronger, not likely to crack and will keep the exhaust thermal energy which means faster spools.
I plan on coating and covering them with exhaust wrap to keep engine bay temp under control.
