That might not be a good idea, but install it quick. | | | 11-03-2005, 03:59 AM | #17 | Site Moderator Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Naples, Florida Posts: 238 | Quote: Originally Posted by AlaskaBlue Install it before winter so you can hit it from 60 mph in fith and spin the tires.

Extra power in a light car with a LSD would equate to a lot of tire spinning in snow. That is if there is no traction control engaged. | | | 11-03-2005, 05:37 AM | #19 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 | The LSD is definitely waiting till Spring.

No instructions, no serpentine belt, and who knows what else is missing. The manifold is the biggest piece of **** you can imagine. Looking at the parts, I can't see how he can justify $2000.00. Remember, he wants over $3000.00 on his website. Oh, and the gaskets are HAND CUT. I mean like with an exacto knife. You can see how sloppy they were done. I think he got his skills making parts for JC Whitney. I want this pile of crap out of my house ASAP. Calling him tomorrow. Pictures to follow, when my level of disgust subsides.

Also take pics of the rotors of the supercharger because he states they are "new" Does it look like a new supercharger?
