    And that little $20 horn is awesome. I put it in, very easy to do. It can fit where the existing horn was. Sounds awesome. Like a Ferrari horn, haha.

    I just went straight up to that nipple right above where the little FPR line comes out from under the upper intake mani. It should be the one right next to your MAF

    looks like you will be able to see inside there now. Haha.......the stock dome light leaves little to be desired.

    Have you changed your valve cover gaskets?

    The LED chip I put in the dome is plenty bright but I wanted a little more unidirectional light. I haven't changed the valve cover gaskets

    Hey, your sure those autolite app3924 are good for our trucks? Amazon says it doesn't fit my vehicle when I ordered them, but that's what it would say too if I ordered 35" tires.

    Also, do you need boots or coils to go with the wire set?

    Figured I'd do it all if I'm taking the manifold off for valve covers. Mine are leaking badly.

    Yup, those App3924 plugs fit perfectly. The wire kit should come with 3 driver side boots and your current passenger side coils and boots should be fine.

    20150513_195121.jpg 20150513_195052.jpg Gio. I was going to grind off some of the leftover slag inside my headers. It seems it may enhance the flow characteristics. I would only minorly grind it as there is a fine line between putting a hole in the weld and header. What do you think?

    Also, if I ss rod my exhaust, will it not last as long as a tig? I was going to ss rod the steel for my bumpers too. How will that hold up you think ?
