no sir i have not sold the other stuff yet. I've had it listed for a week or so now. a couple interested people but nothing for sure. everything will be out of the truck tomorrow.

will take many pics of the new combo. I am not sure what headers that we are going to go with as of yet. I heard that rpm makes a some either that or maybe straightline will fab up our own.

Yea, I actually have a build thread on here:

http://www.syty.net/forums/showthread.php?t=38502&page=25

But I have been slacking on updating that thread with pics. There is a short video of my truck idling right before we took out the busted transmission. Just got the truck back on the road a few weeks ago with the new built trans as well as an aluminum drive shaft since it blew the old trans on on the dyno while tuning a little while back. The truck still needs tuning, I'm just trying to work out a date to get it tuned at the moment.

Were you wanting anything specific as far as details or pictures go? I'm getting my front bumper repainted at the moment and then I was planning to take some pictures once that goes back on this week so I can snap some pictures of something if you want....intercooler system...pcv stuff...fuel system..methanol system. Just lemme know. I'll help ya with what I can.

You aren't by chance part of Straight line Performance in New Lenox are you? It would be pretty damn sweet to see a build of this caliber so close to home.
