Thanks Marv!  Real fun...

Last pic. Only thing I think I want to do (and I hate that I want to do anything because it's definitely not lacking anything for what I wanted) in the future, is a regear.  I was wanting that anyway.  Now it just seems even more right.  She especially likes to dance at the top end. If I lived in Texas or something, the 3.42 gearing and going 140 would be awesome.  But in NH, I'll die, so I'd rather move that power curve to the left some.

I’m glad it all wrapped up! Looks super clean sir. I bet it slaps a huge smile on your face at WOT!!! We’ll have to grab lunch one day when mine gets done!

What did you do about your stock exhaust manifolds and y pipe? The reason I dont want to turbo is because I want to keep all that. As I hate loud exhaust

Exhaust manifold and y pipe are stock, I'm sure you can keep it quiet-ish if that's what you're going for.  But the turbo itself is loud, you'll hear all the whistle.

Hey bud!  She's doing great.  Got the cam in, making a hair under 500 wheel.  I got meth installed at the same time, but the boost controller died somewhere between James and Alex, so that needs to be replaced and then we'll turn up the boost and retune.  I'm waiting till the new year to get it done because it's a far haul from me to James, but we'll get that hammered out soon.  I saw you have updates on your page, heading there now.

He has a pretty sweet set up at his home. I picked up the Denali there. I still need to Schedule time with Alex if he's not in the air. I'm still running on the 6.2 tune and need to get a new one for the 7.0

Those are some major updates!!. Truck still at factory height?

[ShortyMatt]

Thanks! Yeah it's been a long winter of squirreling away parts, haha.  I've got a 2 inch level on the front right now.  I go back and forth on whether I want to drop it 2 inches.

How's this truck holding up? I am always curious to see how these builds handle the mods after some miles have been put on them.
