you wernt kidding.. 180 bucks.. and what, 300 for an LSA blower? This is gonna make me think.. Maybe I can talk my friend into doing it to his ctsv as a trial lol.

Im hoping to be in a house in the next 6 months or so. A shop is almost my only requirement.. just gotta find one.. then serious progress will be made! A shop means 220v, which means I will be building my frame.

I did a little over the weekend. didnt have too much time but I tested out my new toy and made a center line down the whole car. Its amazing how poorly unibody cars are put together. Measuring the "frame rails" in the car, they are not even close to being the same on both sides. sure, in some spots. other spots are 1/2" off or more. Ill be taking more measurements on the bottom to make sure my rear center point is correct. kinda getting it setup in the rear, but still need to fix the front. Should have a day and a half to work on it this weekend.

last pic makes me think center is 1/16" off in the back, But I guess ill find out. (yes I did change my rear center point front the 2nd pic, first one was a good guess for the pic)

This thing is wild! That V8 fits in there nicely. Will be the ultimate sleeper.
