Now that is doing work.

Info on the water meth setup, pump, lines, nozzles, location of nozzle before or after turbo, hobb switch being used or not.

its a buick 3800 sensor and pigtail out of a junkard, thats where i get all my sensors when i do megasquirt builds,

the 3 bar and pigtail is from EFI source, its like 40~ shipped.

i have a turbowerx scavenge pump pushing the oil back to the oil fill cap in the valve cover.

This is a sweet truck, In for dyno numbers and some vids from outside the truck. Getty a buddy to tail you with a camera

my girl has the 5.3 was thinking of what to do with it. 4wd is beast, lol.

Theres a guy out my way with a 5.8 i think it is. With corvette heads and twin turbo etc etc idk all the details of his build but i do know that at 60mph in 4wd he blisters all 4 tires. First time i seen him do it i thought he blew the motor there was so much white smoke
