Rad support(s) already been removed,boxed, & and I built a Tubular front section to hold stand up radiator,condenser, & intercooler. When I feel like mounting all of them to post a complete pic I will.
Fans: (1) 14" puller & (2) 10" pushers
see pics
I still have to fabricate:
wastegate plumbing
intercooler plumbing
Downpipe to cutouts to full exhaust back
will update thread as time allows for me to get extra time in the shop.

I was going to shift steering rack towards the driver side wheel 1" and just run a 1" longer tierod, but was worried about bumpsteer. but was able to cut steering shaft ujoint & and relocate closer to frame rail, the big bulky stock ujoint and attachment coupling was my issue.
Look below, You can see I have just enuff clearance between the stock tierod and frame, once relocate the linkage over, I'll have 3"8-1/2" clearance.

Truck manifolds can support higher than 1000+hp. Its been proven.
They will not allow me to keep my A/C in stock location, if at all. And with truck manifolds faced foward, drops the flange right on top of the compressor.
Plussss.... Nothing looks sweeter than a set of custom foward mount stainless headers!!! Until I wrap them...

wrapping headers or dp's is a terrible idea. it can collect oil and caught fire and the wrap holds heat and can and will crack ss pipes. black jet hot is the only good way to keep heat out.

I disagree... will only collect oil if you have a oil leaking pos... and the wrap is made to hold heat.. thats the point!!! The more heat retention the higher the exhaust velocity which helps speed up the spooling of the turbos.
Aso for cracking issues, My stainless is .065 & thicker, so seriously doubt I will have any issues with that.
Most guys jet hot coat mild steel due to the fact that wrapping the pipes will promote moisture retention & rust pipes out. This is why Im building every part out of stainless.
