So Steve, you like watching guys do themselves do you. Does the spousal unit object to this.

Daniel installed that himself the first time....I guess he doesnt count tho...u should run the 100 shot just like he did too...

 

[Manic]

If the instructions were better it wouldnt be so bad.There are a few typos and stuff they dont tell you.Being that it was my first time putting one in , I had a few snags.Nothing an average joe shade tree mechanic cant do.

When I talked to ROE racing about 6 months ago , he stated that they had a Paxton on one of the shop trucks and they thought the install was very intense for the average joe.He said that their SC kit would be a true bolt on.
I couldnt beat it though for the price i got the Paxton for.Thanks to Daniel.:rock:

I am not rich by any means. I just happened to sell my Tahoe and took some of the cash and bought my Paxton for 3100.00.I then had it polished and rebuilt for 700.00. So I basically have 4000.00 or so into it.I got lucky to get such a deal.I would imagine that once the Roe SC is readily available, you might see some Paxtons for sale used. :dontknow: I am the only one that works in my house.I told my wife I would rather her be home and take care of my son.So I dont have a lot of extra cash like some here on the forum.
I did promise her this is the last thing I am doing to the truck for quite a while.

There is only one thing wrong with your photo, it's not in my truck. Good luck and hopefully the effort you put into the build will result in years of trouble free operation.

broke...I'll give ya a good deal on a red truck with a Paxton It should now beat yours in the 1/4 with the DC Performance upgrade. Whatcha been up to lately?

Silver SRT...congrats on doing it yourself, its something to be proud of!! I dont think I would have tried it myself, plus there is nowhere close for me to get it tuned. Congrats!!

Thanks Daniel.BTW, what type of fluid goes in the heat exchanger system? it just water? Or do i use some type of coolant.The Paxton instructions dont say.:dontknow:

 

[Black1]

I thought you had a chrome intake manifold too??? Or, do I just drink too much? :dontknow:

LOOKS AWESOME!!! Kudos for doing it yourself. :rock:
