Well an update on the build, full 3 inch exhaust with electric cutouts, swapped out my edelbrock 800 cfm carb for an 850 quickfuel double pumper, fully built c6 full manual with transbrake, 2800 stall TC, Detroit locker, Moser nodular 3rd member with 3.89 gears 35 spline quick performance axles, caltracs, autometer cobalt gauges, best 1/4 mile time is 13.35 all motor. Trying for 12s all motor before doing spray. Elevation is a real *******.

thanks man I appreciate it. I used the original booster I'm literally about a quarter of an inch away from the booster. To drop the motor in I had to remove the booster drop it in and then put it back on. The good thing is when the motor torques it goes to the passenger side so it doesn't come in contact with the booster at all. Well I have a decent cam in it and sometimes I'm a little low on vacuum but it does okay it stops the truck I might switch over to hide your boots later on if I upgrade the cam size.

It was the best addition I did to the truck, I put rear disc's also and the combination provided stopping power that is like night and day. One thing to get these trucks moving but it's comforting when you know you can stop it in a reasonable distance.
