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!

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
