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.

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
