I am hearing that the stuff on ebay is "different" and mine is a kit and there have been a myriad of personal problems. Oh yeah, after being told what a big time operation they are the "day job" is getting in the way of my project. The hard pipe was on back order for 3 months, this and that has happened. It's pretty frustrating. I am a real practicing 53 year old adult with a family, grandkids, a real engineering consulting business, etc., not some kid who posts how they want 1000HP from some 150,000 mile NA they just bought for $2500. I really do have better things to do than rant and rave on a forum (no disrespect to the forum as it has been a tremendous source of information and inspiration). I have read your posts Alex and you are way way beyond my knowledge on these cars. I really am in awe of you and socal, seriously. I am just trying to do something myself as a fun side hobby and learn a little as I go. My main hobby besides my Granddaughter is playing upright bass w/ a lot of local (St Louis) jazz people. I just forked out a huge chunk of money to a guy outside Plilly that makes the most unbelievable electric uprights I have ever seen. Money went out, assurances were made as to design, color, delivery time, etc. 3 Months later the bass came and is better than advertised. There are guys out there making really cool one off stuff. This whole mess has turned into a bad nightmare. Hopefully I will be able to post how I am now soooo happy and life is a big bowl of guards red cherries (supercharged ones).
