looking good man.

Thanks dude!

Did you get the harness done by tech2 too? I had a hell of a time getting the instructions sent to me.

Nah I had my mechanic do the wiring for me...but I got everything else through them, even that crazy expensive hood...absolutely the biggest headache ever! we had wrong parts sent just about every time i needed something! Definitely have not had a very pleasent experience with tech2.

I had my hood custom made by a body shop. It turned out pretty good, not as nice looking as the tech 2 but it works.
My motor is completely stock, but it pull really good. I might just keep like this for a long while.
Did you get the tach working, with the dakota box? Mine works, but its really off with the actual rpms.

got any pictures of the oil pan clearance?

Thats what were working on now. Yeah mine is stock as well, but that junk sounds amazing in person!! Next spring new turbo and a wire tuck are in store! No pics unsderneath yet... get some in a couple days!
