I have already gone crazy with it, and ordered the following:60lb Sieman Deka squirtters
twin walboro 255lph pumps
10lb lower crank pulley
Gates belt
Diablo mafia maf
magnum powers blower with 2.81 upper and idler bracket
In the spring I will top it off with a stall and take it to the track when the beast goes. You should come out, we are going to Reynolds SDR again.
I am hoping for 500HP and 600TQ, and 11 second daily driver. Here is the pic of the MP blower I picked up off lightningrodder.....
GASPAM, I am glad I did not run you, as I did not know you had EC longtubes and tune. The truck only makes 438/568 to the wheels with 3.73 gears outback, so I think I would have gotten rapped.

That is a sweet MP and great list of mods! Great find.
Do you have a tune yet for the 60lb injectors and MAFia?
I had RWTD tune my KB, 60 pounders, and MAFia back in the day, but he wouldn't tune my meth injection. I just added the JLP sheetmetal intake and need a re-tune. I love this plenum though, the whine is unbelievably loud.

I did some cosmetics on the truck and can't wait to show the bretheran. I pulled all the bashing and pasti dipped them followed by a gloss clear coat. I then shot the two front grills with the dip followed by some more clear. I will get pics up shortly.

Pasti dipped the side lightning emblems, rear svt emblem, two front grills and added a CHROME svt emblem to the front grill. I am adding front clear coners this week, and pulling the rear tails to be replaced by the solid red harley davidson tails.

All the lightning owners kept saying, man what until you hear what a MP blower sounds like which you bought, it is God Aweful loud. So curiosity was killing me and I searched on youtube and found this, turn up your speakers homeys

Those tails look sick and I gotta get a pair! 
For the clear corners check out Stealth Bulbs. Silver when off and amber when on. They're a little expensive but I've had them since '05 and they still look and work great:
