its spring
"Winners agree to pay $79.95 for UPS Shipping anywhere in Continental U.S."
As long as 2k dollars doesnt bother u, go for it, but i would just spend another 1200 and get a blower, rather then buying that stuff.
The set-up they are selling looks good, but it is alot of money, even though it is cheaper than buying it from FRPP. I think u should consider all your options before buying that.

I guess I am a little different, but I wouldnt put a blower on a car with stock heads and intake. You will see a much better gain later on with a blower if all of the other components that effect the engine's breathing have already been upgraded.
That really isnt too bad of a price, however, if I was gonna spend close to 2k, I believe I would either go with afr or trick flow heads with a better intake. You can get a good set of heads for 1100 to 1200, and a good intake for around 500. True it wouldnt come with a cam, gaskets, or rockers, but you would end up seeing a better net gain bby spending just a couple of hundered extra dollars. This being said, if you would be happy leaving the car alone and not wanting pore power later on (very few of us are), then it isnt too bad of a deal.

cool, im still considering it. i just cant decide if i want my car repainted first or not. but id rather get as much as i can N/A and then add a blower. a blower w/ stock parts is nice. but will make more power w/ highperformance parts. thanks for the replys was just wondering how that compared to the holley kit. hey danny that yellow car in your avator looks great man!

thats a pretty good deal. How much is the holley setup going for now? remember, it comes with a cam thats matched to the intake and heads. As far as te blower is concerned, wait till you have a strong NA motor before putting on a supercharger. you'll need a strong bottom end too before you force feed an engine.

Hi , I actually did buy this set up from Blue Oval industries and I am very pleased with it. I upgraded the intake to a polished one from them. What you need to know though is all the other stuff that you will need to make this set up really work. 190 fuel pump, 24pound injectors, adjustable fuel regulator, 1 5/8 headers, 75mm MAF, 70 mm throttle body, fuel pre gauge, a NEW timing chain, And an engine gasket set. I think that is all. I also had all the peices port matched and polished for better air flow, the intake really needs it.
