Default Paxton Installed

It is complete! 3 DAY installation time to complete the kit and get it up and running. It sounds great, idles great and revs nice and smooth. Now i have to wait for spring for the test drive (boohoo), oh well gives me time to do some shortie headers to go along with my polished paxton. I am finishing up the gauges today, autometer "cobalt" elec boost and fuel pressure gauges mounted in a speed of sound pillar pod. After looking at this SOS pillar it would be so easy and inexpensive to build your own if you could just buy the "bullets", all it is is a factory pillar with some holes drilled for the wires with the bullets rivetted in place. I could build that from my factory piece in 30 minutes LOL. Here ar some crapy shots!

Thanks guys, It was a fairly complicated install. Id like to call myself a pretty good mechanic (my career for 20 years) but everything with this kit is compacted in there extremly tight. You read a step and think o.k.,thats easy enough but it was frustrating at times. Kudos need to be given to the guys that designed the kit, After all said and done everything fit like it was suppose to with no room to spare.
I just finished up the gauges, The cobalt led color is almost a perfect match for the blue my color illumination. looks sweet!!!
