I just hope the motor hold for a while so I can save up some for other things...

Its all in your driving style, dont beat on her every second and you will be ok. I am going on 3 + years now. I have a few track passes on her and plenty of beatings.

Tuning is pretty easy, Use a Lightning MAF and tuning is a sinch, but it is important to get a custom tune, dont use anything canned.

I am generally easy on all my cars...like I said it will see some track time but not enough to kil her...and I know the impotance of a custom tune my 98 GT has one for the 150 shot and it's been healthy for 3 years now.

I would take it on myself but don't feel like spending more for another blower if I screw it up...

ya def let them do it, very good clean work. They actually rebuilt my blower from nose to tip after I had the blower polished by a local guy who didnt take enough care to keep the metal out of the bearings.


So the have had my blower twice.

Jose did it! He got a 2 1/2" cowl (95 Cobra r hood) first, then the 3" cowl now. Check it out
