Default Some mods done, HUGE diff in car

Hey all,

Got a couple mods done, PI manifold, Xpipe, catback, 3.73 gears, TB/plenum, MGW shifter, and wow what a difference . Much better throttle response, pulls better, off line better. It was only like 30-35hp, but what an improvement.

I am waiting for some parts from Vortech, and then the V1 gets installed. I cant even imagine what it will be like with 300+ hp.

Good work duder.. man you have been working on this supercharger kit for a few years now. I don't come around here much these days but I distinctly remember you asking questions about this some time ago. Glad to see it all coming together for you!
