    I'm thinking of running this setup minus the intercooler middle section.

    Trickflow R lower, adapter and Holley upper are not off the table though. I just don't think I'll have the extra 2.5" the small core setup needs. And I think my double core works better.

    I wanted to run the baseline stuff since the guy is close to me
    Talked with him and he refused to help me set it up. I'd install it and haul it up there ,I'd pay him.and he could help.me set up a baseline or learn me a thing or two. Nope won't do it.

    Went with team z

    My r&r in April got pushed a week. Kind of good. It gives me an extra week of pay and puts my retention bonus on the check before I leave instead of after I return lIke my dates before would have done.

    Just started collecting rear suspension changes. Found a BNIB set of Baseline Suspension street/strip lowers for a good amount off from facespace.



    Next up is to buy the uppers


    then the ARB


    I still need to order a driveshaft, pinion flange, shocks and springs, trans cooler, a Stiffler's crossmember, and a few other items

    It's a beauty ain't it? Should be waiting on a converter change and it's done. I'm going to install it end of April when I get home, hopefully.

    It is their standard. I installed all that MM suspension back in a day when I was just gonna do a mile 350hp Vortech build. When it started to get out of control I asked MM if the standard would be fine or would I need to up it to their HD one. They said they have never seen either break.

    When I pull the TA, I am pulling the PHB, front and rear bilstiens with coil overs and the rear lower control arms. I want to sell it all as a whole first. Stuff may have 3,000 miles on it.

    I looked at Baseline's stuff. Not sure if I want to get that deep into the setup. I think simple, albeit adjustable upper and lowers with an ARM will be fine. Only reason I am going with the new brackets for the shocks is better setup the ride height and spring rates.
