Yeah Tom, you shameless threadjacker!!

Since you've already done the damage, any chance of one of us East Coast guys getting in on the T-shirt if you get them done up?

Got that covered my friend. According to Dave V. my intercooler will be the second one shipped out this week (Russ snagged the #1 spot).

p.s. Do an extra good job on Green Lantern, that was always my favorite comic as a kid

because your drivetrain isn't quite as strong as a GT drivetrain. you are potentially bolting on +100 HP.

I can easily see your clutch and axle grenading themselves. Especially if you do a clutch drop a few times too many.


so besides paying for the blower, you might be facing a repair bill as well. You can get a GT 8.8 take-off axle for about $1,000 with the V-6 swap components & 3.73 gears...so that part wouldn't be too expensive. And a clutch can run upwards of $700 for just generic parts & labor.


have fun, just make sure you are aware of what you are stepping into

I understand that, thats why Im going to get an 8.8 swap first and a clutch first before I do it. Trust me, supporting mods are coming before it.




And how much do I have put away for retirement? Im 19, so none.
