I might have to go with that powerdyne in that case ... I'm going to think about it for a bit... I'd love to have the power of a sc, but at the same time I'll get a lot more done (but making way less power) with my original list.

That's pretty much the direction I'm leaning... s/c, h-pipe and duals, and probably seat brackets.

I really want the seat brackets because the seats I have now (Tenzo R rally seats... got 'em for a great deal) are on modified stock brackets, and they don't fit the greatest, not to mention the driver's seat sits too high and too close to the wheel for my taste.

*edit: sent the guy a PM, hopefully the s/c is still for sale.

Also, do you guys think I should save $160 and skip the h-pipe and just go with divorced duals from summit? Being a college student with no job, I'm basically relying on my bank account to pay for all this, so the less I spend, the better off I'll be.

*another edit: oh noes! Now I'm starting to have second thoughts... my original list was definitely more well-rounded, but I still want the extra power of a supercharger... I'm starting to lean towards my original list and then I'll just see what s/c's are available when I get out of college and get a steady job. I hate indecision .... maybe I'll do my list and start saving for an m112 conversion.

either way is a good route man. the m112 will give you more low end torque but the centri blowers can push more top power

Well, I decided to go with my initial plan... I ordered the HID projectors, mach1 grille delete/chin spoiler, 4.10 rear gear/tlock, o/r h-pipe and duals today... I'll order the seat brackets, tuner, and short shifter tomorrow (i'd order it tonight but it's dark and I don't feel like walking out to the parking lot to look at the computer number). Yay for making myself broke!

I do agree with you on the looks thing... like I said earlier, I'm getting projectors because I'm also upgrading to HIDs and I don't want the glare I'd get by putting HIDs in halogen housings. There's like 95% chance I'll smoke the lenses anyway

you are not allowed to talk until you provide dyno numbers
