Its going into its 2nd season of "hibernation"

Other priorities have taken over in life for now. One day I'll get it out again. Me missing it is filling up the desire to get it out, I need to fill up the hope tank so the day I get it on the street and something breaks I wont be depleted so quickly lol.

Been single for a while now, remember I tried to get you to buy my t3/t4 precisions? I already bought the 7175 at that point LOL

I was indecisive, now I'm committed Hopefully the motor will be back in the car in the next 2 weeks running

I've had both. The Vortech was cool for a while and was conservatively tuned for 375 rwhp/345 tq. When it blew up after about 20k miles and Vortech wanting to charge almost $2k to fix their faulty bearing, I decided on a turbo. Way more power, way more fun, way more expensive! The kick in the pants you get from a turbo is so much more dramatic when coming on boost versus the Vortech it's not even close.
