Glass vapor, your saying save up for an Edelbrook? I was looking at Paxton. I have 410's, and im told that Centri pull in the higher rpm range, so will the gears compensate for the lack of pull in the lower rpm? Honestly I'm not looking to race my car, i just want a good s/c that i can get on it when i need to, and drive it like it like a dd.

QUestion.. whats the difference btw intercooled and non intercooled? Im guessing intercooled is better if your running it hard and non if your just driving it street wise? or is intercooled just better all around?

with a centri, you're not gonna feel it if you don't get on it. You'll even forget it's there lol.

I sometimes have to romp on it a little to remind myself how much power I have

it's very subtle under the powerband, even with 4.10s it's still pretty tame when not at WOT. Driving around town, feels like stock.. no joke.

Mine is not a DD and is only a "fair weather" car. It pretty much sits in the garage from Nov. to March.

well ok then. Good to know. I think ill just save up and get the E Force. Guys and brenspeed really talked up Saleen and E Force. Said its good for DD. ITs a bit pricy but im sure its worth it. You get what you pay for yea?
