The video and sound system look great! I think the screw type blower is the way to go which is Kenne Bell and Whipple. They are more efficient but cost a little more.

Stan, you are quite the fabricator! Great job on your stereo and I'm glad to see/hear that you're enjoying the car now.

I watched the install on two guys garage. Not that I trust those guys, they would peddle anything. But, the whipple looks really nice and I am leaning that way too.

That's the fact Jack! Brian is a phenomenal fabricator and master "first gen" guy! He is deep, deep, DEEP into the re-wiring of my 'vert and we should be firing the engine up very soon! The man is a perfectionist, just look at my link and see his work. Frannie does all the fab work on the kick panels and shares Brian's "passion for perfection"...

Bottom line: you cannot go wrong dealing with the folks at ScreamnPerformance!

Looking great!!! Thanks for the information on the water neck from S&P!! It fit great and I was able to retain the original lower hose. One more hurdle crossed and I couldnt have done it without you!
