Default Sooo....

Well a couple of you guys have seen the Blue Supercharged Vette that a friend of mine has... Well the guy that supercharged it didnt seal the front cover to pan spot with any RTV... So I figured I'd help him out since that guy is like non-existant now and doesnt have a cell phone or a shop phone number anymore? Interesting as that is.... All i have to say is wow Vortec Kits are a pain to work on. If you have a Vette and you're going to do a S/C, go ahead and pimp the Procharger kit
Blue Vette 1 - Mike 0

Good note is Matts parts will be here today so back together that goes, hopefully by this weekend

Mike, how much would you charge to install my clutch, 9", 4.10's and driveshaft? I'm gonna need to get that **** done by spring so I can sidestep the clutch at 6600 RPM on slicks this year.

PM me with the "I know Datri and I'm special because of that" price, please.

A stalled auto will always be faster and more consistant.
