Default Fun modding?

It's always fun seeing, feeling and doing or getting mods done to you ride right? The only thing it drains is your pocketbook. If I found a low mileage C5Z that was already forced induction, should I go for it? Or start from the ground and work up.

if it was done right... go for it, as it will be cheaper, but if you dont know the guys work, and can't tell if it was done right, I'd say do it your self for peace of mind.

Yeah it's running a Procharger, so I could have fun from going from N/A to S/C with the bypass valve!
