Default Easy, but not cheapest way to get there

...find a used supercharger...be it Vortech V1 s Trim(old school-what mine is) or even a powerdyne(less $$ - still fun) or a paxton or procharger...get a chip burned by a reliable dyno and be DONE.
(mine makes 95hp/98 lb-ft more than another fella's terminator that has CAI,Borla exhaust,8.4 psi...on the same dyno. and my lil 347 only averages 6.2 psi from 3800-5800rpm w crappy eddy performers and a gt40 U/L...and a very safe 87 octane tune)

yup. we have one of those fourpost drive on full size lifts in there. theyve got that pontiac lamans tempest from the 60s that they have along with a 99 yamaha yzf r6 bike for the power mechanics class along with that dinner for the woodworking class. they got all brand new tools and welding equipment and all new stuff like that. its great. i betcha its changed a LOT since you were there.

so its on for monday and hopefully ill get the exhaust done and be good for the shows. if i get the car done for tuesday, wanna try to meet up at a&w or do you wanna wait til your car is all set?

believe it or not, my tuner that put a tune on my car to get it to the shop told me that my car should run on regular gas with the tune he put on it. I never tried it but, it probably can be done

im sure your paint is better than some of the other cars that show up.

if the car is fixed on monday, i will be there on tuesday. you will know the car when you see it. if its not fixed, ill still be there but ill just be a little bit harder to find. if you want, i can give you my cell # and you can call me when you get there.

no but it was around the same boost level. 500 n/a on 87 octane is possible by all means.
