Your truck is rediculous! Looks so good.
How many HP are you gonna be seeing?

Thanks, I'm hoping for something in the area of 600hp but we'll see.

Assembled the supercharger today, and cleaned up the lid and the tub of the intake manifold. Tomorrow I will be finishing up the manifold, final polishing the fuel rails.

Just found this build thread and read it from beginning to end in one sitting and I need someone to call me a doctor because I've had an ******** lasting more than four hours, lol.
Copper&Black, dude, you have a sickness. I mean that in the best possible way. Your craftsmanship and attention to detail is incredible, blows my mind! Keep it up- no punn intended, ha!:headbang:

Did it just get a little gay in here or is it just me? :supergay:

Haha Thanks Chauncey

Just a little work today mating the supercharger to the lid. I had to hold up there since the sealing washers to connect the intercooler were damaged so I have to locate some tomorrow.


Pics for today...

Actually I need just two little washers with seals I had to order from magnacharger before I can install the intercooler and button up the supercharger. Tomorrow I will be measuring all crank shaft journals, then hoping to getting around to checking with plastigage for bearing clearance. Before she is torqued down for good.

I had a min to do a little interior paint & repainting a couple pieces I had already painted but was unhappy with.
