Well, progress was made today

Where I started today. I ended up having each knock sensor leave the back of the valley on their own sides. I just felt this worked better but I forgot to take a picture







Gaskets installed





The provided MAP sensor in place




Fuel rails assembled






Fuel rails in place







The underbelly of the blower





The massive intercooler






Lower manifold/intercooler installed. Now we are getting somewhere

Pulley bracket assembled






Assembled





Filled with oil






Blower in its home







Where I ended for the day. Serpentine belt is in place and the blower itself is 90% done. Just need to connect heater hoses then I'm on to installing the heat exchanger, reservoir and hoses then the TB, intake and fans with wiring. With a little luck I'll Finnish all that tomorrow.

sweet. doesn't look like it took too much doing to get there, no offense to you sir.

Wish my buddy would have bought a roots type kit like this instead of his Paxton on his 11 5.0

what kind of numbers are you hoping to hit? like 550rwhp/600rw-tq?

Install is not too bad. If say the worst part is how deep the motor is in the engine compartment. Everything I do I'm resting my chest on the radiator support and at full reach most of the time lol.

I'm hoping for 600 rwhp and hopefully 500 rwt

Well, day 3 completed yesterday




Reservoir & pump assembled





Reservoir in place





Heat exchanger in place





Front view w/ fans






Where I ended up for the day





All that's left is to assemble throttle body, install air box and run the wiring for fans & pump. Hopefully I get my tune emailed to me so I can fire her up the day I Finnish.
