Oh the cam is the heartbeat of everything being tied together...ideally id want a little stall too to get it off the line, but being DD and towing, she is still to be tame...

House will for sure keep u held back...

Looks like you added one mini tiger power in the process...bad dood! Color me jealous, that friggin tvs1900.can't come soon enough! Lemme know your thoughts on the 8 rib as I'll be looking that direction once I bolt my blower on. Also, I thought the newer Maggie's came w the hd tensioner??? I was magnusons first case of broken tensioners back with the radix on my 6.0 SSS.... Was a nightmare, always had to keep a spare tensioner, belt and tools in my truck at all times... Roughly a 2 to 3 tensioner a month habbit... Got old fast, really hope I'm not stepping back into that situation... Anywho, Looking good and exciting, be sure to give me a ride when you finish up... Def need another motivator pull soon!

Will do...no mine didnt come w HD tensioner...

8 rib isnt necessary unless u get some crazy spin...number one thing i learned is to key that crank..key that crank...key that crank...my crank shaft has some scar marks from it spinning as well as my crank bolt came off super easy...

Sounds so good. I am glad you bought those damn Wilwoods!! I saw them as soon as he listed them but just couldn't pony up. Perfect for that supercharged beast to stop her down. :thumbsup:
