Your car only performed as well as it did because I sprinkled a little magic on the kit before I shipped it.

I know. Does make you wonder. Maybe the Ls1 aint all it's cracked up to be.
NA you cant really beat it bang for the buck. But from what Im seeing once you add boost, the playing field is even'd. I go back and forth on what to do with my next car. Lt1... ls1... Boost... Nitrous... Cant really decide.

Car wasn't that "nice". Just ran good. I really really wanted a new car and
was kind of burnt out on working on the same ole polished turd. Sad thing is from the car I ended up with a R1 and a 95 Chevy truck (that got STOLEN. damnit) and never got another car.

No Idea. Wasn't anything special. Just a griffin the right dimensions. Griffin is really reasonable with prices and will build you whatever you need with any kind of bungs where you need them

Thanks man. I really do hope to find another car soon. And as for this bike, even with you just gettin all ya ducks in a row, sounds like you'll have money before anyone else will. I'll give ya a holla later.
