Sorry it's been a while since I posted. Been busy! Well the bad news is I just had knee surgery again. I'm good, and back to walking on it already. Should heel up nicely. Good news(kinda bad) I had to sell the supercharger off the Impala so I could get it up and running again without breaking the bank. Still don't believe that the engine builder is going to play nice, so I will probably have to float the bill myself. Good part about it is that I got $4200 for the kit and I really only paid $4600. Damn good sell if you ask me. Future plans for it are up in the air, but I have a few options. My freind Sam at Combination Motorsports and I are going over a few plans. I am going to go visit him in Vegas the end of June when I go on leave. Option 1: If I can somehow get the non-running car to them I will have the motor rebuilt and a custom TT setup installed. A bit pricey yes. Option 2: Send them the engine and rebuild for a stout NA setup and a heafty shot of the bubbly. Probably a T56 in there as well. Take care, Mav |

Good to hear you are recovering well. The Imp situation still sucks but at least you got a plan and progress is in the works. TT? Damn dude that would be far more $$ than you may realize. Depends on the HP goal of course. Single would be better and cheaper. I like option #2 myself. Just make a killer 383 w/ some AFR LT4 heads and T56. Hope you get it up and running whichever way you go. |

good luck with the knee. if you want i will be going home on leave in the fall. I will go kick the builders a$$ hehe. either of the choices you stated are good ones just don't let becham build it again I have heard so many bad things about him. but I guess he cant be to bad he is still in business and it is a small town so if he was really bad he wouldn't have any business at all. good luck with the car I like the sound of a TT and t-56 that would be a bad imp. later |
