Thanks! I am sorry that I wasn't paying attention enough, until I saw your whole engine pic by dropping down my jaw. Your set up is totally bold out from the old box. It's nice looking engine indeed.

Modified engine cover:

This looks very tuff .................. what was wrong with the color on the charger? I think the color looks very cool ....... so .... should it match the engine cover or?
I'm not sure witch color to go for when think supercharger .........

Also; could do me the favor of giving me the outer diameter of the piping from the Kleeman ? or are they shipped away?

The coating that was used the first time was crap & it is peeling plus it is more of a flat black & yes I want it to be closer to the gloss black that I did on the cover. Honestly I talked to OZ to find out what he used & I am going with the same thing now & I believe you two already discussed it in one of your builds.

If the truck isn't sitting in front of my house when I get home I will un-pack them & put my calipers on them for you.

I tried to find Kleemann super sport camshafts today & had little to no luck! Even Kleemann USA was out & said two to three weeks? I then put some feelers out & you will never guess who had a source... yup as always it was Shardul! I gave the info to Jerry... he brokered the deal & soon they will be part of my build

Thanks again Shardul & Jerry for all your help
