Finally bought an FIT kit!
Tom, my Procharger Racing Team shirt size is 4x, OK?!
Z, thanx for the help.
Greg and Eddie, I'm counting on you guys....
Tons of my Maraudering friends helped educate me and I feel I've made the best decision for me with an FIT kit.
EVERYONE is invited to the install which I'll schedule after all the stuff arrives.
BOOST, WOOHOO!!!!:burn:

If you're talking about my BLUE, most likely will wait until Spring, then plan to do the exhaust, Addeco sway bars and maybe a T/C.

Yes and no.
It WILL be installed at my place in Vero. However, I look forward to help from my friends and SSM members. Collectively, this will be our third FIT kit install as a group.

Dude, you should hear it now with the headers and NO CATS!!!! I can't wait to hear it either. It's gonna be HARD, cuz I won't get on it 'till the week AFTER cuz I'll wanna get it to Scott first for a tune.

I'll probly get harnesses at some point. Chapters have been BIG. Cahpter 3 will probly be an Al Pappitto motor since he lives and works right here in Vero. I'm quite sure it'll be ANOTHER 2 years before THAT happens!!
Brian, you are also (as well as all SSM's) invited to the install...

Rich, you know I am going to be there, getting in the way asking really dumb questions and drinking all the designer water. It is what I do best. I haven't posted because we talked on the phone but I didn't want to miss all the fun. Good on you bud. Check Rich Long's post on another site regarding tubing suggestions if you haven't. Of course I don't know what the hell he is talking about but you will. You car is fast now, it will be an absolute bomb. EDDIE....will you be able to keep up with Gregg and Rich? :P...Dennis

I do too, Tom. I'd really love for you to be there.
I'll do my best to be there, you know that. I'll be scheduling a tune with Scott as well once the new tranny is in. Maybe we can talk him in to a Marauder tune day for both our cars. Need to get these baby's ready for SSHS7:banana2:.

That sounds awesome. I couldn't agree more about Scott. I had been asking Z to help get me together with Scott. A Marauder Day would be the ****nit!
I'd plan for the Saturday AFTER the install. So looks like about a month from now.

When are you planning the install? I am on the road most of October, so I will have to get my tune sooner. May not work out.

Well, 2 weeks is typical delivery. Then, some time to plan, so I'm guessing somewhere like Sept 28 at the absolute earliest for the install.
I dare not set a date 'till all the stuff comes in!!!

September 28th will work for me:up:. I'll put some pressure on Greg to get it to you:D. I don't hit the road again until Oct 2nd (other than a week from today back to N.O. for the week) Let's do it:banana:.

Congratulations on your purchase!
You or Tom need assistance getting ahold of Scott, let me know. His shop is nearby and I stop in to gab with him now and then. I'll pull his ear for ya. They are doing some great work at D'Agostino and the cars are lined up!

Again, the 28th would be the earliest (I think) for install. Just remindin ya, but we'll see. No need to rush Greg. He's been good to me and I'm sure he's on it.
