While that worried me a little, I believe this time it may have been due to debris on the road (old tire pieces). I will just get a new plastic one and reinforce it like you suggested. When I remove the old one I will give it to my crew in the yard and see if they can make me a new one out of s/s or aluminum for a back up.

the ration change between 4 and 5th is amazing-- they are now closer. Thats was want I was looking for.

Phil, can you pm me how much you paid for the secondary undertray cooling system? Cam hasn't called me back. Did it come w/ a new undertray or just a template to cut yours out.

Turbos need love too...

I can break any forced induction, with a lean enough tune.

Merry Christmas to you too... once you get the brakes sorted out you won't be disappointed. I was very impressed with the Racing Brake BBK. I know a lot of people say you won't notice much difference between the OEM brakes and an aftermarket set, but I didn't find that to be the case at all. I noticed a huge difference with the RB set.

How does the Pettit s/c kit compare to the Hymee?

The only thing I can see is the Pettit kit uses a “water-to-air” intercooler and the Hymee kit uses an “air-to-air” intercooler. Horsepower ratings seem to be the same at the rear wheels from what I can tell.

Does the pettit kit use a 2.1L supercharger?

You serious?

How is this not a logical question? I am simply curious about the differences.

I am not a ******* troll.

I don't think he was belittling your question.
He was simply pointing out that you are probably not asking it in a place where you will get a serious, reasoned answer - something that is not terribly prevalent on this forum or in this thread.

My bad.

I sent Hymee an email asking the same question but I am sure he is too busy.

Where else should I ask this question? I figured this thread is where all the supercharger guys hang out so I would get lots of knowledgeable replies.
