Mark and I talked about this on the way home...here is my take...
1. I have just about pushed the Radix to it's limit, which is going to be about 9 psi
2. I have an expensive cam designed for the blower, a standard Z06 cam would work fine with the turbo
3. I have expensive 1.8 roller rockers, where the stock ones would work fine with the turbo
4. I have expensive dual springs to go with the expensive 1.8 rockers, where Z06 springs would work fine.
5. The tranny already robs a lot of HP/TQ, and the blower is pulling more to spin it
6. I'm bored and need a new project to work on.
7. High IAT's and water-to-air intercoolers FTL
8. Mild IAT's and big-*** air-to-air intercooler FTW

Yeah if you get these lmk because Ill never get it in the summer.
In the winter though watch the **** out.That **** sucks jon sorry about your car I know how it feels.
On the other hand leaving chris's house going to the 101 i notice all the construction signs saying you cant get on at camelback so I was like **** and headed down til 91st ave. At the light there is a white 4 door cavlier with 2 mexicans in it, in the far right lane and I get in the turn lane to go left. Well I look over just as the passenger points at my car and I was like
. So I think nothing of it until the light turns green and I get the arrow, so I turn left and they turn left from where they were! They are on my *** like quick, So I wrap 2nd,3rd and 4th sayin "nuh uh **** ain't goin down like this" They persued for a short while and I hope gave up, while I was blazing down 91st ave next to the arena at 95mph. I came upon glendale where there was construction and slowed down, light turned yellow and I ran it. After the light I couldn't see their headlights at all. Of course there was a police officer headed north bound through the construction and all i could think of was barely snuck that one past a turd. But I made it home with no cars in persuit.

xux about the car being stolen...
i was at pavilians last night and somene tried buying my trans am....i threw a number out of my *** just to see what the guy would say (figured he would tell me i was nuts)
but i guess he had been walking around looking it while i was in eating dinner...
i told him $7500 just to see the look on his face......but then he is like "i would pay that"
i actually took his info just for the hell of it
im not gonna sell it i dont think, but it is kind of funny because thats $1500 more than i paid for the car 2 years ago, and ive put about 25k miles onit, and only done $3-4k in maint/mods to it (mods really only being the wheels/tires, msd opti and better plugs/wires)
sure i could pay off my CC, but then i would turn around and finance an LS1 WS6 or something, so why do that?
but it is nice to know our cars are holding their value/going up in value

so i didnt get to sleep till about 5:00. I get a call from the Avondale PD around 8:30 they found my car in pheonix, but it is not driveable. I asked them what "not driveable" means and the didnt have an answer for me. so I have to wait until about noon and go to the towing yard and find out what has been done to my car. I have the feeling that it has been completely stripped.
