A blower, heads, etc is not going to happen for awhile so I have some time to think about what I want to do. My project for next year is subframes and battle boxes as well as some misc. interior work (new dash cap and some rear seat refreshing/repair). I'm also going to see what I can do about a rear axle as well. As for now it looks like the silly power upgrades won't be comming for about 2 years.

Lots of good comments here. I love the KB, but it does require a lot of ancillary equipment to get right. You can get away with 6 psi with not too much work, but inevitably you will want to up the boost - happens to everybody. And yes, you need to do a lot of welding onto the frame in order to stiffen it up to handle the torque. I had to limit my launch RPM to 3000RPM in order to stop breaking differentials. Granted, I still bring the front wheels off the ground at launch. With sticky tires, I still sometimes get that roller-coaster lost stomach feeling when I gun it.

If I was goin to pick a S/C ProCharger would not be on my list... "there custmer service
