OK after a long ass nite of hard ass work......and an install that was FAR from "plug and play"........i did it. Almost had it last nite but i gave up at 2am and crashed out. Woke up this morning with a headache and a mission and BAM..........i got it!! As you can see in this next set of pics i had to buy idler pullys which are larger then the ones i was SUPPOSED to get. The holes in the bearings were too big for my bolts so i had to make a sleeve for each of the four idlers. It is actually a metal spacer cut in half and another steel tube that fits inside of that one. Then the bolt fits inside perfect..........this was a MAKE It happen install. Part of my old bracket from the duals is actually being used to hold one of the idlers!!

anyway enough talk heres the pics......its official im runnin quads!!! :D:D :D :D

With a setup like that you need some custom work done on the engine. ever thought of getting an electrical fan and maybe a PCM tune. Did it to my 4.8L Sierra, and I'm pulling about 310hp on that engine. A 5.3 will get you about 10-15 more hp than mine. For half of what you paid for the alt's, you can get another 20-30hp no joke. I'm not talking no hand held tuner crap, I'm talking 30hp at the wheels depending on how you want it tuned.

Anyway... Looks great!!!! 916 representing.....I live in 707 VACA. See you around.

im definitly interested in a few items to help horsepower......i mean it dont feel any different with 4 alts then it did with 2 but i could always use extra power. Electric fan is definitly in the question......watsup with this tune you speak of, i have the crap hypertech but i want the real deal. Can i use both? I AT LEAST need the hypertech to adjust the 26's to my speedo.....thats probably the best thing about it :D

Instead of a plug in tune like a hypertech which does minimal tunning, you get a modded PCM that replaces the factory PCM. You just tell the tuners what you are looking to get out of it and they can adjust pretty much anything.

Looks good, but my ? is why? Was the electrical before not cutting it?

ummmmm if you dont know why, then you dont know me or my system, so why ask why? :D Your question can easily be answered if you look a little deeper....lets just say no, dual 300 just wasnt cutting it.
