How can I check the bearings? I was told there was no shaft play or anything ike that I will be non-ic for now running a 3.60 pulley. I will most likely run meth or a fmic with e85 once I PCS back to the lower 48!

thats a good price, im paid a lil more for mine haha.

Yeah I used TR6 plugs gapped at .032

To drop the tank you just do the three bolts in the filler neck(10mm) and the 2 bolts for the straps. Slowly lower it and then there is an electrical connection right in the back, then straight back from that one towards the other side of the tank. I had like 2 gallons in my tank, make sure you run it low.

Oh you need to take the fuel filter off too, might as well change it while your at it.

nice man! so let me ask this,after you order all the brackets, hoses and all that stuff where frost posted the links, all you need is the head unit, fuel pump, and some kinda tune, correct?

And injectors and MAF. I got my 42#ers and lightning MAF from buyfordracing.com pretty damn cheap And for the tune if you don't already have a tuner I suggest Sniper

I'd always do a new maf when you do a blower. just pick up a lightning/cobra maf and call it a day.
