First the Bad. Long story short I'm paying $135 shipping for the Paxton A/A intercooler.
Also got a call back from the plater and the actual cost of polishing the head unit, MAF housing, and Intercooler pipe is $200. $140 more than originally quoted. The nickel and diming portions of total blower cost have begun.
Good News...Rims and tires are here and mounted. I'll post pics later today. The SOS guage pod also arrived.

Not out of line at all. I feel more stupid than ashamed.
I drove my car (running in perfect NA condition) to my mechanic friend's house/garage on the 3rd week of February.
2nd test drive.. April 15th is when the stock motor blew from not installing the BAP.
Sat in my brother-in-law's garage until June 3, the day I had it towed to Swanson Performance.
Picked it up from Swanson on Aug 14th. 500 miles later, it died again.
In RET's hand since Sept 10th.
To date, all parts and labor spent on this entire supercharger project is between $16,000 to $18,000.

Congrats Leo, they look great
even though the s197 makes a big tire look small, look how much smaller the 235 now looks on yours.
So how do they hook up and how do they compare to the BFGs ??

To expensive and to much hassle to swap. Plus I've never been 100% on them.
So you expected them to look crappy and didn't offer an opinion? Some friend you are.
Haven't really had a chance to test them yet.
