I see the aces shit all the time on the gram, it scares me because there has been so much "come and gone" over the years but recently helping my boss with his Holley TermX i wasn't super impressed so trying the aces might be worth it.
That LS standalone kit was priced really well that's for sure.

I have installed dozens of the holley kits and not one has ever run well. Rf interference,piss poor tuning setup and the new ones have injector problems.
I read all the manuals on the aces and it's alot like normal tuning maps. We shall see I guess

Not gonna lie, that is going to look way better than that plastic intake and cover that's on there now.

Everything is cooler when it makes blower noises.

Did a traditional port and spinning really fast so it should make cool noises

It needs some kind of oval air filter that attaches to the TB at the back letting it hang over the blower. Bonus points if you can make it look like a triple carb setup.

Welp,the truck runs awesome and I hate to disassemble a good running rig but the ls looks lame. I've been mocking this up on a spare engine.

That's some Bebop stuff (don't like the look of the plastic intake so putting a horsepressure booster in it's place) if I've ever seen anything

Same on Holley stuff. It seems they have nailed down marketing so a lot of people go that route but it usually ends in pain.

One step ahead of you

I kinda figured that, but had to mention it just in case...

Hell ya!

Got the pulleys done so not much else I can do on the mockup motor.

Great minds think alike

You need more belt wrap on that p/s pump or it's going to be a noisy bitch.

I thought that also then I realized it is the same way on the truck now and has no problems. Plus the tensioner is 35 pounds now vs the wimpy 10-15 of the factory one.

I install Holley all the time and have 0 problems... Weird

Good luck to get support for Aces. Use a factory ECM if just running the engine that's what you're trying to do.
If you want a small, waterproof, well supported, cheap ECU, I suggest the MS GoldLite.

Congrats

Not impressed with the Holley hardware.
Non serviceable display that dies in a year? Dual sync distributor that dies in a year of weekend warrior use?

Software side seems good, plenty of functionality.

I am really curious about the Aces stuff and it's heritage, where it is made, what is the core hardware etc.

Built this airbox and had a vision of my truck flopping/ripping the blower off. Trying to figure out someone to 3d print one out of plastic because im not hanging a giant stainless cleaner on this thing.

Don't roll it. Problem solved.....

I'm glad it's working for you but I've lost too many hours on em and have to find another route. Might work,might not but it's no more chinese than holley.

Hey, I was thinking it's not a big deal to make another idler for some more pulley wrap on that pump. Think I prefer to do this just once

I think that's a good idea. Always better to be safe than sorry

Great job on the belts. Absolutely great placement for the extra idler. Luck or is that an intentional location for one?

A 3D printed scoop would be badass also. The ability to tweak the detail and just press ‘print’ if you need a new one.
