Good fun though!

Lol, true!!! I'm really getting to like the fact I'm having to get the drive train sorted on my car even with the extra expense I guess it will give me a quite a bit more headroom than OEM to possibly get more power in a few years... due a similar problem to sef I have to ban myself from engine mods till at least August next year .

soon, I have had all of the parts sent to the CAD guy , they are into the computer so the fittings/mounts etc can be cut quickly. Other projects had gotten in front of this one and Longboard has been incredibly patient


I just need to go back to the CAD guy and ask him what 10 sets of everything will go for and then price out the kits

we will be going to the race track soon so we can see how well it performs on the road course

Al,

all of our kits and parts are interchangeable. We try to develop systems that parts will work well together. We are working on another supercharged system to complete the sweep

You will be able to pick the charger for the kind of driving you like and then it comes down to what engine you want to put it on

Life is grand....eh?
Thanks for this post from:

only on the highest of modified ones. I don't want to get into our "secrets" yet as many are trying to copy but truly don't understand what is being done in the tuning. We have a bunch of products coming to market that we haven't been talking about much. People around us have kept a pretty tight lid on things as they see what is going on in the market place.

I can tell you we will never be satisfied with performance as we continue to find ways to make more and more power. I have spent much time and money on exhaust systems to make more power and now finally to get them quiet. I will be testing this on the 2.5" systems for highly modded M45s.
