if i can get this to work i might sell a set or two of the hot parts but they wont be cheap or easy to install. it looks like i will be moving the batery, some brake lines and quite a few wires. i bet i will have over $1000 in material just for the headers, down pipes and flanges.

I heard that, looks like a good part time summer job. Make sure you put the sander/surfacer close to your welding table...or wear tennis shoes .That will be a cool setup. Did you get a tig with auto pulse ?

Good choice on the turbos. I had talked to Harry a couple of years ago about putting a package together for the truck guy's and he just kinda blew it off.
I don't think he realizes the market, age makes a man cranky. Maybe he's just doing too well with the Mustangs? It seems like he has somewhat lost interest in any new development for Buicks as well, other than marketing what's available to him.

What are you going to use for fuel management? The new FAST XFI looks real nice. I with you on the C-card, it will have to wait for me, I'll stick with the old box for a while.

Good luck with the build....

i have been working on our dining room for a month or so. just finished it today , this used to be our dog room and was really nasty. i cut in that sliding door, refinished the floor and painted everything. the woman is happy with me right now but after i spend a few nights out in the garage things could change.
