No, not that you sick a-holes...
Just got my taxes back and its a good chunk of change.. Im debating on whether or not I should blow the warranty on my TBSS and drop an SLP 402 into it.. I think i'm gonna avoid doing FI if I go this route and maybe use nitrous or just high compression and water/meth injection..
Any thoughts?? I wanna get this sled into the 10's fully weighted.. I know it will be tough, and I only want to do it a handful of times to avoid putting a cage in it. Bubt I just wanna be able to strut my stuff and say I have a 10 second soccer mom SUV..

Too many other options out there to have to pay SLP's price IMO.

I have a 408 that was built by Erik @ HPE. Texas-Speed, amongst many other sponsors that have had good results. If you see the SLP thread over on 'tech its in the sponsor complaints section, quite a read I might ad.


I'd love to see a TBSS with a 400+ motor. The sad thing is I'm selling my 408 T/A to get a TBSS so I wouldn't have something to mod as much... Just browsing over here already has me thinking, which isn't a good thing.
