I did however get a powermaster starter and a few other goodies. Spent today pulling a trans from my buddies '99 Blazer that I did a motor swap in this time last year. That kills me.

Got back at it today. Finished the Blazer I was working on for my buddy. Anyways, I started fabbing up my piping. It was hard to punch holes in the aprons. HAHA More to follow tomorrow.

Man, I thought something looked funny. Must have mixed it up somehow, with all the confision and all of the multi-projects going on with this thing these last few months. HAHA Thanks Troy!!!

I actually got tired of seeing the same ole' set-up with everybody running the SysteMAX II and wanted to do something different. This also makes it easy to run the piping. Plus, I have not seen a Vic5.0 anywhere else in the area. Especially a flipped one.

**yeahloh95** · 01-17-2010, 11:25 AM

yes that is a unique look for sure

What all is involved in flipping the intake?

A whole lot. HAHA It has to be able to be flipped. Only sertain ones can be flipped. Then you have to lengthen harnesses and do piping, throttle cable.

Ha I'm sure there is. What do you change with the cable? I know obviously the bracket would go on the other side so do you like, bend it 180 degrees?

Something tells me you got the idea from a picture I leaked out a few years ago, but since I never bothered to work on mine I guess that doesn't count.

I am still deciding on that. I am looking at perhaps a different cable. But, yes, you can bend it 180* and it still works great. No binding or anything.

I think thats how I am going to be doing it. I'm guessing you just need to extend the tps and IAC harnesses? Where are you putting your meter on the new setup?
