I've been trying to work on this. It's happening.

 

lol I can tell your build has already gotten wild. I'm visualizing something like this when your done:

 

myfx4 where are you on your project? You seem to be making very consistent progress!

 

Right now im cleaning up my intake manifold while I wait for my heads to get done at the machine shop. Then its all just reassembling the damn thing, heads included. Im getting very anxious for it to be done. Ive got a pulley out on my truck right now and its making a really bad grinding noise.

 

I'm hearing a road trip.

 

So...boost or NA..

Just for the record this is your guys fault with your cool projects to drool over

 

Unless you have a few grand sitting around for the build, its gonna be a while until you can find a lightning s/c if thats the route you want. Youre gonna have to piece it together and basically live on then lightning forums to find the parts you need before they get sold out from under you.

Or buy a whipple set up.

Or buy a donor lightning.

Those are your options lol or you can just build it ready for boost and then throw boost at it later on.

 

Build it for boost and run it stock. Then save for the blower. You'll have the same power as stock or a little better until you throw the eaton on it.

 

A lightning swap would be a lot cheaper than a Whipple. I did mine with tune for 2500. I did almost steal my blower set up but with the age of these trucks getting up, you could find things cheap.

I did live in the Lightnings boards, but that's not a bad thing, you will learn a lot.

I will have a low mileage ported eaton, ported plenum, and a few other intake parts for sale soon. Also will have injectors for sale too. Putting a Whipple on a HD and will be selling the stock parts.

Finally back from my tranny builder! Just need to change output shafts and rear housing.
