We could have a NA Streetport, a Pettit Supercharger, a BNR/Greddy Turbocharger, & a Hymee Supercharger there....

pdxhak and tubingchamp need to get wrenching ASAP! Seven weeks left....

I'm paying for the kit tomorrow so it should ship this week. I have the coils and the midpipe should be put in the mail Thursday or Friday. I sent a PM to Charles to see what he would charge to fly up for the install. I also put in a request to a local rotary shop to see what they would charge. But it would be cool to have a few guys over to knock out the install. The reason going with a shop is I may run out of time and Charles or the shop could bang it out in a day or two.

Those will work. Not sure about Dan - he is now thinking of getting his turbo installed before the dyno day.

WE NEED MORE PEOPLE

With only (4) cars with (6) time slots confirmed, the price went up....

There is nothing I can do to change this, so we need more cars if you want the price to go back down.
