Newbie from NYC. Modifying my intake and exhaust in hopes of gaining 100+whp :D

Max, looking great.. well done. I'll have to look at my Aeroforce gauge. I can set a alert on most any input, but I don't think I can do any external triggering.
The company sells a relay kit which includes a small electronic device that taps into the warning light of the gauge, which you preset thru the annunciator, that triggers a relay (or a solenoid in my case)
So, for example, i set the warning light to come on when the gauge reads coolant temps above 186 degrees which at the same time triggers your relay

I've got two analog inputs but no outputs. I have my annunciation set to monitor knock voltage. The Interceptor gauge I have is several years old.

back from the dead!!!
The truck has been running fine all this time (knock on wood), but time to do something about the transmission has come. I have on order a 518/46rh transmission being built by Martin Saine. It'll be built to hold about 800hp, it will have a billet input shaft and manual valve body. It will be about 3-4 weeks before I receive it. In the meanwhile, I started working on the shifter stand. I will be using a Kilduff shifter called "the ratchet *****", it is a 2 lever shifter, one is a detent the other a ratchet.
As some of you may remember the truck is 4x4 so the stand has to accommodate the 4x4 shifter.
More updates as I progress. Any questions let me know.

On to the pics





















ps Sorry that Photobucket f'ed up the thread :-(

20170704_162111.jpg Max, have you figured out the cable routing? Unfortunately the higher the shifter, the higher the cable.

as of now the plan is to put a little notch at the top of the ashtray lid and route the cable through it.

With a 545 it's only a matter of time before you get fed up with it, lol. I like the innovative way you've done it to make it all fit. Will you be making a cover for the base? Also looks like you're gonna have to relocate your gauges, probably can't see anything with the shifter in the way now.

LOL! You've got that right!.

The stand will be powder coated black. the transfer case shifter will get a boot.

It takes the 5ft cable to reach properly. I had 3ft when I made the 46rh swap and it didn't fit.
