Finally! A lotta hard work and frustrations but she's in, and the truck started up and idled. No leaks and so I'm heading out for the test drive. I'll try to post up some pics as soon as I can, but right now I'm so excited and I gotta go test drive the thing :D. They'll be some smaller issues to sort out along the way, but for now the main piece is behind me. There is also so more space on the shelves now ;) :D. Wow, quite a project.

Sweet can't wait too see some pictures. Good Work.
 






Congrats! Looking fwd to seeing it.
 






I knew when my phone stopped ringing for a while something was up, either you got it on or completely forgot about it, hahahaa. I'm glad you got it going now was it worth the effort??? :)

later Doug.
 






Congratulations! What kind is it? CAN'T WAIT for the review :cool:
 






Alright, another supercharged 1st gen. Schweet! But I have to say, TTIWWP!!!! :D
 






Back from the test drive. I went by a friends and then on a snack run. Man this thing is cool! Haha. It sounds so...badass! The KKM, Gibson, and S/C compliment each other well :D. About 3k rpm this thing really gets a roar. However it's in quite a need for a dyno tune, it bogs and stutters at certain rpms and the power isn't all there...yet. I'll be talking to Doug @ BamaChips for a chip after awhile. Once I get this transmission thing straightened out in the near future, I'll be more open to seeing the other side of supercharger's potential. Lol, definitely threw the A4LD a curveball on this one. ;)

Haha, it was definitely worth it all, now that it's behind me. There really were a few moments where I questioned what I was doing. A couple of times the light at the end of the tunnel disappeared, and I just stared off into nothing. But, I also kept thinking about all the plus' I heard from you and Jeff. I'm glad I followed through. And Doug, I really, really appreciate all of your help!
 






congrates i bet you can kill some ricers now lets see some pics!!!
 






Very cool. Just the sound those things make is enough for me! We now need pics :D
 






Welcome to forced induction. Can't wait to see pics.
 






I need to get a site where I can store my pics. What do you all use? Is it free? Anyone familiar with Snapfish?

Just become elite, then you'll have more than enough room to host your pics. ;)



Congrats on the install. :D
 






You can spend all that money on an S/C but not $30 to become elite and store all the pics you want?

Rofl, I just haven't really thought about it before. I read the section a while back about becoming elite, but I was tired and misread and thought it said a $30 monthly fee. Just now reread it and realized my mistake...woops! :o :D . So yeah, I'm definitely becoming an elite!

LMAO I was kind of figuring 1. he got it in 2. he blew it up and I'd never here from him again. :D. It does sound like he's quite rich. Who know without a wide band O2. Detonation idn't seem to be as much of the issue. DOug do you have a good base program for him to start with? Second though don't answer that. I know you do. Scott, as I said before I'm going to keep tuned into your progress and feel free to give me a call if you need anything else.
