Haha, I agree. For someone to pull up at a red light beside you with a v8, and a v6 to blow them out of the water, is well worth the money also.

Another consideration is price. A new Monte costs about 25,000. A used 04 costs about 12,000-15,000. Add about 5 grand in mods you have a total of 20,000 and a much more faster and fun car.

It really depends on what your outlook is. Some people would sooner have the newer vehicle.

Well, I agree. If money was tight, and this was the only car, and I had a really long drive to a job everyday, a newer car would be the way to go. And the 04 Intimidator is a new car, just not as new as the 06-07 Montes. You are quite right however, Even 10 grand in mods will give you a wicked fast car, for cheaper than a new ss small block.

Also, in addition to that, I found this intercooler mount for the m90...

i dont think I would ever spend 2400 bucks for it, but I might just be crazy enough to do it......

I would avoid the Thrasher products all together. I just really don't care for their products as the competition always seems better. Comp cams over theirs for instance.

For the intercooler, ZZP is the place to go once again.

Ohh One more quick reason to modify the 3800 and not go for the 5300.

Nice use of lyrics! lol.

But do you seriously think that the GenIV is the same as the GenV? Maybe mistaken title? I emailed the company, still got nothin back

Hey 04 Intimidator, I saw you have an account over on clubgp.com


It looks like you are still waiting to upgrade blowers until after whipple has more proven results?

I think its either gonna be a gen v, or a whipple, haha, but the turbo has definitely gonna be ruled out, mostly because I love the sound, the feel, and the kick that my blower has.

Yeah, I have an account here, ClubGP, MyMonte, LS1M, and half a dozen other sites that I really don't visit as much. The first 3 is where I spend most of my time.
