The overhaul goes in to High Gear




Yesterday was an incredible day. EDGE Products shipped the Edge CTS with attitude and it should be in Denver later today. L&H Autobody applied a fresh coat of white paint to the new cowl induction hood and they should be installing the new hood later today. Look for Pictures later this week.
Chipotles has aggreed to feed the whole crew on Sunday during the reveal and some how seven cases of fresh Coors products showed up to wash the viddles down. Rumor has it that the local NBC news station has taken a serious interest and may be at the reveal to catch the whole thing.
Jeremy stayed late and installed the new ATS Pulse Flow three piece exhaust manifold and the valve cover was powder coated black. A custom paint job is being applied to the valve cover. Keep close and I will have a picture later today. I am being told that it will be a very personalised touch to the engine compartment.

The banner miraclulously hung itself witout anybody falling from the custom scafold provided by Chuck at Truck Transmission and Turbo.

ATS Diesel On-Board With Aurora Turbo & ArcFlow Intake



We contacted ATS Diesel and informed them of Brian's truck. ATS agreed to take part in the project and donated an Aurora 3000 Turbo Kit and ArcFlow Intake Manifold. We couldn't pass up the chance to make this truck really move. Brian has mentioned wanting to increase power on the truck and the turbo kit and intake manifold will help a lot with increased air flow to complement any fuel delivery upgrades that may find their way onto the truck.
Jeremy starts removing the stock charger and downpipe as the truck is prepped for the
Aurora 3000 to be installed. The old stock downpipe is pretty rusty and nasty. If it had a few barnacles attached here-and-there it would be fitting!

The factory intake manifold is removed and the ArcFlow is lowered-in. The rear portion of the ArcFlow Manifold has pretapped ports where the boost gauge will hook up for pressure reading. We're not sure if Brian is going to recognize this engine compartment when he finally checks it out.
