I was looking at this package http://www.advancedinduction.com/AiP...sCompStar.html but was going to get it from a local company here in town being I can get it from them for $330 less then what Advanced Induction offers it for.

Good choice, I wish I would have just spent the extra $ and went 383 on build. Like they say "There's no replacement for displacement"

It's the only package I have looked into so far. I'm going to be doing some more research on Tuesday with the builder.

Nice! I have always liked Compstar components. That's what my 383 will consist of.

I have the TFS guideplates and they worked fine, but speedinc had to modify them slightly, its also what AI & LE recomends

Yeah I don't know if any of you guys have seen the deal on the Procharger set up for sale by JamesShort. WOW what a frickin deal! I'm gonna pass on it and build it for N2o. Going to run the Nitrous Outlets wet plate kit. Probably run a 125-150 shot. If anyone is in the market for a D-1 Procharger with intercooler and all the mounting stuff, he is selling it all new never installed for $2550 shipped! That's over a 50% savings on that package!

So so true! I have friends that make more money, have nothing to show for it and are dead broke.

Straight cash homie. Haha Randy Moss cracks me up. My build has been the same though, except I put it on my card and pay it from my account a few days later to get reward points. I'm so sneaky
