if youre worried about mileage, buy a 4.6 modular, (about the only think my 96 has over my old 95, better gas mileage and the bottom end will hold to 7500rpm).

or better yet, i think toyota offers an all electic prius with the "remove your *****" option

Yeah, I think im doing the kenne bell. I like the sound of the supercharger and the way it looks. I just don't want turbos.
