    The main difference being an afternoon spent installing supercharger vs a few months of no truck and on jack stands with lots of custom work.

    alot still need done
    i would think it'll take me at least a couple of days for the supercharger w/ 7th injector. installing then fine tuning it to my liking. but yea the LS3 swap would probably take me 2 months of nonstop fabrication then at least a week easy of tuning it. i never installed a supercharger so i'll probably take my time with the install.

    I'm thinking about going 2" on the front and rear. I don't think I will go any higher, I'm only putting 32's on my truck with stock wheel. Should I put a front diff drop kit? I heard some good but mostly bad about it.

    Installed a test pipe from LCEngineering the the other day as well as a URD O2 simulator. Their website says the test pipe is for the 3RZ but it's the same dimensions as the cat on my 5VZ. It sounds great. I have Doug thorley headers and an 18" magnaflow. It's actually a pretty deep tone and is only loud when I get on it between 1500-2500 RPM. Anything smaller than an 18" muffler and it would be too loud for me. This is the perfect setup IMO.

    It really doesn't take that long. Unless you only have 2-3 hours at a time to give to the project. Its that easy to do.

    Got a chance to crawl under the truck, Passenger axle shaft came undone from the inner side. (hope that makes sense)...too much play so I might have broken it or not seated it right when I re-booted my axles. I heard a loud pop after crawling up a sandy hill on sunday. Took 3 tries but I got it up that damn hill...open/open for the loss :oops:

    I appreciate the feedback gentlemen, I'm still learning :rolleyes:

    The general consensus on here is that the diff drop isnt very effective and not worth it. With 2" you cv's should be okay.

    My passenger side axle also just popped off from the tulip deal that the bearings are mounted on! That upper snap ring failed allowing the whole tulip to pop off the actual axle shaft. Thank god it was just that! Is this what happened to yours too?

    I still haven't took the axle off, but yes, I'm pretty sure that's exactly what happened :fingerscrossed:

    Just don't know the exact name for the sleeve I guess you could call it that the bearings mount on. There that's a better definition! :rolleyes:

    Okay isn't there supposed to be a rubber gasket between the face of the diff and the face of the cv?
