thanks for the info JR. I feel a lil better now.
But I know my brother he is afflicted w the same disease as the rest of us.
He starts out saying oh I'm gonna leave it alone and then within a week (or less) he's on the drawing board.
HE picked it up Friday and I spoke to him Saturday and said what are you gonna do to it? HE says "nothing prob. just intake, exhaust and tune and thats it" Oh is that it? Great!
I saw the dollar bills flying out of my wallet.

WHen we were younger I initially had the faster cars - then he always had turbo cars - Ford Probe GT (which tuned was pretty fast for its day) and then he had Supra Turbos in College and it was a wrap for me.
He Graduated to Vipers then GTS Vipers and now a SRT-8 Jeep which he had Headers, Heads, Full Exhaust and a Supercharger that turned out to be a disaster and had to take off and sue the company.
He's terrifically cheap so its taken him about 5yrs to get another sports car.
I've always had cars I had to make fast and never turbos so I was always putting superchargers on etc. I had a Supercharged CLK55 a Supercharged SL500 a Supercharged Tahoe - but they were never super fast.
I'll never forget the last humiliation - I just got my SL back from getting Kleemann Supercharger, exhaust etc, And wanted to race the GTS - which had ab 600-700 hp.
What a bad idea - that was '04 and its time for me to take the checkered flag now.
Stay tuned - I'm not big on Videos but maybe I'll get some.
