Trust me, if the money was there, the Whipple would have been gone allready. I'm stashing away the pennies right now to replace it with somthing hopefully by the end of this year

another forced induction system or a bottle? we can piece you a kit together that will be more cost effective for the time being.....no need to worry about broken belt tensioners

I'm gonna stay force fed. It wont be turbo though. I kinda have my mind made up with what i'm going to do, but not 100 percent. Depends on whats available. I still wish Whipple would make a complete kit like the radix with there 3.3 liter charger, but will probably never happen. What ever i go with though will be able to support quite a bit more hp than what i'm making now

No I'm not. I actually think I have been running a broken tensioner for a while, most likely wont hurt a thing, but I did order another one and I will modify the stops on it. I would just feel better knowing it's not cracked
Did you get your driveshaft and exhaust yet?? Quit screwing around, time is running out and we still need to bleed the brakes. Hollar at me Saturday if you want to, i'll meet you at the shop and we'll try and bleed them with the tech2.
