Default What to look for when buying?

Wow its been a long time since I have been on the board, probly 2 years! Things sure have changed. Its great to be back. Anyway my question is what are some things I should look when buying a supercharged fox? I am gonna be looking at a blown 88 on weds and was wondering if any of you blower guys can help me out. Thanks

Look under it...sub-frames?? look in the rear wheel wells...lots of rubber means lots of abuse...(a.k.a. fun if its yours)...educate yourself on the top o'the motor parts...make sure its good stuff...most of all drive it the feel and sound will let you know if it is healthy
