Beyond the Sun....
I got my order of JMB Performance stuff on Friday and installed it on Saturday... the onlly piece I was unable to install was the lower hard radiator line, as I would have had to of removed the entire supercharger system (not just the intake lines (I tried with those only), to remove those darn OEM clamps.. no matter what I used (channel locks, vice grips, etc.) I could not get the clamp on the water pump outlet to release... so it will have to wait until I send the truck over to DC in 12-24 months to have them - Stroke and Bore it to 522, head and cam package, piston, bottom end, and crank up the boost a little)

So here are the pics of the -

Upper Radiator line, Thermostat housing, and catch can.

DREMEL!!! Nice small size, cutting wheel, 5 minutes.....bye-bye clamp.

The JMB stuff looks great. His red is really damn close to the original. I like it.

Here's a little something for ya:

Off topic, I apologize. How long does it take to fill up one of the catch cans?

According to justin it depends on climate you are located in.... I think his instructions said somewhere around 500-1000 miles its gets about half full and his is in Missouri, with a oilish... water mess.

Being that I am in Arizona... I am sure that I will be able to go much longer as we dont have the humidity here... but will have more oil than water in mine.

I will keep an eye on it, and see if I can figure out the miles between empties.
 
Cool. Thanks for the info. :)

Sorry if your thread goes way out into left field. . .

As to contribute. Justin's stuff looks amazing!!! I love how it all looks. :rock:
 
Looks killer. I just did the same thing to mine but opposite colors, black hard pipe & Thermo housing with Red couplers!!

I will post pics soon!!
