damn i like your whipple supercharger. mind if i ask how much you paid for it?
Thanks- I can't remember exactly how much- I bought it off a guy on clubgp who installed it on an engine stand, but never ran it (he ran out of money for his build and had to sell it all)- so it was brand new, but the gasket was ripped and there was rtv on the connections. I want to say it was about $2k though, maybe a little more- for the "complete" Animul kit, which turned out to be a pile of garabge- which is why I've been replacing all of those pieces with the Yella Terra parts instead.

have you dyno or took it out to the track yet?
Nope, since I moved to a place w/o a garage a little while back, I haven't touched it much. It was running pretty well when we left (with the ported gen 3 m90)- but then I put the whipple on in the driveway w/ the Animul kit and ran into the common problems- and it started running crappy- hence why I started buying the YT pieces. Then it got broken into from sitting outside, so its been in a storage unit ever since (so they couldn't come back for engine parts or the wheels, etc). Just waiting on a garage to get stuff finished up.

Really, there wasn't a whole lot I could do with it anyways- currently the transmission is stock minus the billet flex, high stall converter, and shift kit- so it can't handle the power. Phase 2 of the L67 swap was supposed to be installing a built tranny and the DP nitrous- but after driving it as it was w/ the M90 and all the other mods, it simply didn't hook, and I'm tired of dealing with this stupid trans and lack of traction (I'm sure it will be way worse with quadruple the boost, a cooler intake charge, and nitrous)- hence the idea to go for rwd.

But wow that car amazes me everytime I see it. I love everything youve done to it.
Thanks, when I start getting into the older pics- you can start to see some of the ricey stuff I put on there from just being a teenager (ie rice pedals, etc)- so I hesistate to post them, but since they are some of the best shots I have of a complete car, and of the fiberglass work- I post them up anyways.

I would donate my garage to you in a heartbeat if you were close enough... even though it's my parents garage at the moment. But I'm buying a condo soon, so still no true garage of "my own"

Awesome as always Chad
