The front headlights and corners are from a company called K2 Motors, you can find them on E-Bay. The rears were done using Nite-Shades spray...1 full can later!!!

How did you modify your pulley system? Are those HID or projector headlights? Close up on the fronts would be nice too. Nice truck. I like it. :beer:

Thanks,

All the pulleys. They all look different. Looks like only one idler pulley instead of two side by side.

The pulley right below the blower pulley is a Metco idler. It gives you much better belt wrap on the upper puller so it doesn't slip.
It's hard to tell what size the blower pulley is. Could be stock size or a 2.8, 2.76.

Since where on the subject. How much boost will a 4 lower and 2.8 or 2.76 give you? What size is is the stock upper? Is there any advantage to a different upper pulley. I thought you just need to change the lower and leave the upper? Why would you change the upper. I have seen a few people do this.

Stock is 8lbs. The 4lb lower gives you just that, 4lbs more.. Stock upper is 2.93. A 2.8/2.76
upper will give you approx. another pound and a half. It's better to change the lower. Making the upper smaller can cause belt slip. That's where the Metco upper idler comes in.

Hey Larry. I wanted to ask you. Think a KB on the stock block at 12 or 14 psi will hurt it? KB runs cooler air temps too doesn't it?

As long as you don't run up the boost, I think it's fine. If I had the money I'd have one on now.

Exactly what I wanted to hear. I think I may save and get one. But I need at least a stage 1 and a FTVB before a KB wouldn't you say?

Thanks Larry.
