Guys, I would love a Procharger but I'm not about to sink that type of money into a weekend car. I think initially the set up will be Cams/Heads & Gears.

The problem with the bottle is, it's going to be expensive in the long run.

With a head/cam bolt on car you can make over 400 RWHP and have a reliable DD that will still get good gas mileage and not be a pain in the *** to live with..
