Getting Blown, Finally!!!
Got a great deal on standard Vortech SQ-2 unit (satin finish) on another forum. Install date is set for Nov. 7 at ST Motorsports.
I've also gone ahead and ordered the Paxton air to air intercooler w/3.33 Pulley, KB BAP, HT0 plugs, Autometer Ultralite gauges (boost/vac, wideband A/F, & fuel pressure), SOS pillar guage pod, and for good measure some new shoes 18x9/18x10 anthracite bullits w/ Nitto 555's 255/45/18 and 285/40/18 (Due to arrive Wednesday).
I've currently got the head unit and MAF housing at the platers for polishing. Also took some of the brackets to the powdercoater. I'll post some pics once they're back.

Can't wait Leo. I think you'll be happy with the choice. Get ready to update your sig with new numbers, with ST Motorsports power under the hood you'll be a terror on the strip
Also really interested to see how the look coming back from the platers.
Oh great choice of tires, if I do say so myself.

Congrats, Leo!
Does this mean you'll be coming after my *** at the track, now?

I'll definitely try although I don't think your title of S197 Topdog at Barona or Qualcomm are in any danger.

Seriously, I'm thinking this should get you solidly in the 7s. Do you have a particular ET in mind you want to hit?
Let the trashtalking begin... hahaha

I'd like to get a 7.6 since according to all the conversion charts that equals an 11sec pass in the 1/4. That's probably wishful thinking though. Adam's already said that it wasn't likely.

Well, I'd sure like to see you go 7.6... that would be cool! Make sure you get out to Barona this winter, and catch one of those rare good air days. It could happen!

I was meaning to ask why the hell does Barona only have two days scheduled in Nov and about 2 or 3 in Dec? You'd figure that's the best time to run. During the summer they were open every week.

And until today, they had nothing scheduled in November (except a Jr Dragster event). Now they added a Friday event on 11/7. Screw the Q... I'm going to Barona that night.

I might have to find a way to get 1/2 day and come on down. I gotta do something to improve my time, 8.3 is pathetic
