Without the booost, baby!!
Just pulled her into the shop to start the "major" upgrade.
Michelle bought me lots of Blue Raspberry Kool-aid and I'm ready to go!!

See you all later! And thanks for all the help... I'll be needing more.

The countdown begins...

Anyone care to start a pool as to when Rich emerges from his Bat-cave?

Hey Rich,

I can hardly wait . You broke two cars in Bradenton without boost, with it , the possibilities are endless. By the way , tire Rack has OEM rears in stock.:burnout: :burnout:

OK went until 1:30am.
Had to get Mike's pullies off and put the stockers back on.
Valve covers on.... works good when the intake is out, btw. I still rounded off the corner on the inside of the passenger side.
I'm heading back down.7:25am

I'd say by dinner time, 7/7, that puppy will fire up.

Rich, had no internet connection yesterday so I have missed half the fun. Go man, but carefully and have a blast. Wish we were closer. Would love to hold the light and take the pics. That is the extent of my abilities but I really love seeing the kool aid mixers being born. The blue raspberry is cool. Pizza at half time! Don't forget the co-pilot on the test run. Dennis:burnout:

The black blower is different looking. Was that special from Trilogy or did you have it done?

Well, I drove her today....
Had a slight problem, the blower belt got eaten!! ( I know it's an EATON but it got EATEN)
Apparently the blower supplier installed the pulley backwards!! I'm getting a new belt this afternoon. I'll destroy that one on the trip home, swap the pulley around and Triology is sending me anew belt overnight.
But for a short time ( 17 miles) HOLY FREAKIN" CRAP!!!!!!!
