Tomorrow im going to do a little tig work on my manifold for the supercharger and ive been stocking up on some body supplies. i have my paint mixed up. Some new tools, some dent removal items, new paint gun, primer, sand paper and some metal to finish some of the little things i haven't finished. I have a very nice front bumper that im going to move the fog lights to the valance. I have a nice tailgate and new roll pan. ( im on the fence about a roll pan or a new rear bumper or a 2014 chevy rear bumper.) I have a suburban headliner that will fit the sunroof better. Lots of stuff to finish in the upcoming couple weeks.

Your cam isn't far off of the BTR stage 2 turbo cam I picked up for my Z06 on the cheap. I expect to shift close to 7000.

Right! These things like rpm. It continues to pull to 6600 and runs very well for a NA 4x4. It still drives very nice as well. Wife drives it from time to time.

Tonight i finally tackled my AC problem. i have been battling a combo of problems due to the 5.3 compressor and the 97 truck evaporator. I have made a couple lines to adapt from the compressor to the dryer and the condenser. i put it all together and charged it to find a bad expansion valve in the new condenser i bought. replaced the vave and then the lines got cold but nothing but hot air in the vents. Vac it out once again and totally removed everything and went through it top to bottom. Lots of leaves and **** plugging the evap. Cleaned all that and the stick holding the air diverter. Finished putting it all together, works like a million bucks. its finally cold and all the vents work as they should. Start to finish was 3.5 hrs.

I wish my ac worked. Itll stay charged for a few days then go out. When its 90 degrees the windows down doesn’t help anymore lol.

I would disconnect every fitting one at a time. Clean it and replace the O rings. More likely than not that is your problem
