Got my extended towing mirrors today (not going to be able to use them until spring when towing the boat, but I have them anyway) & installed the grille guard after work today.

Tomorrow:
- the Piaa 520i fog lights go on it
- install a new electric fan (previous one seized) along with a programable thermostat,
- clean up the interior
- clean the engine
- & a wash for monday when it goes in for the marine intake, supercharger & dyno tune.

I'll bring the camera & digi camcorder & hopefully get some decent pics/vids.
Having it dyno tuned for my vehicle specifically should be awsome.
Heres to hoping & no major issues!!!

Next week is probably a shift kit for the transmission so I don't leave it or parts of it on the road lol.

There is the marine intake I have that'll be installed Monday. They're a medium rise intake, external fuel rails, easy access to the injectors, all around they should flow better & be easier to work on. As with any upgrade or change there are differences of opinions but Al at Wynjammer said the marine intake, 36lb Bosch injectors along with the supercharger are a really good combination - both compliment eachother well.
Google '4.3L marine intake' you'll find lots on them.

Yeah Matt but you'll have to get the PCM programmed for the larger injectors, flow etc. I'm not sure what performance increase you'd see all by itself. Like I said Google "4.3L marine intake" maybe add the words 'horsepower, increase, or perfomance'.

I replaced the whole rear axle assembly (yesterday, actually), then took her to get her "make-up" done.
