Default WTB X-charger recommended stuff?

So I go to the local auto parts store to pick up the stuff to do the X this weekend, and I can't find any of these:
teflon paste thread sealer (Permatex 80632)
silicone sealer (Permatex Ultra Black 598B)
trim adhesive (3M 08031)
I found items that were close, but the numbers didn't match. Anyone know of a chain store that carries these items?

numbers didnt match for me either. But I could find the same stuff. It should be ok if you have the wrong numbers, just make sure they are EXACTLY what is listed as what you are looking for. I got everything at an autozone, and almost all of my numbers were off. No problems with it after 2000 miles so....

Yea, i have horrible launching abilities. I have only been there once. My best run was without a lanuch, more of a roll-off like you would do in normal day driving. I'll get the hang of it next time maybe.

I thought that they would run alot faster then that.. If thats all it puts out then Im not even going to bother with a supercharger.

Look at his trap speed. It's got the trap speed of a high 13sec car and that's what he will probably run once he figures out how to drive it better. Not bad for just a hi-po x, stock pulley, and exhaust.
