    True... it should just makes me a better blower.

    Luis! You rock! I owe you a dinner... and a back rub, Hotbuns69!

    Yeah, but in a year or less, you'll all be blowing my doors off.

    Thanks to Luis!

    Steve, thanks whole heartedly for the offer. If Luis suddenly turns into Ryan and stiffs me (unlikely), I may call upon you afterall!

    See below.

    See below.

    More below.

    Moe, suck it!

    Now, to answer your questions and perverted statements:

    I was lucky enough to be on a list at Vortech for research and development of their blower for our cars. I got a great deal and could not pass it up. Basically, this is the story:

    You all know my non-modding history. 2 Weeks ago, I got a deal on hiflow cats, and had them installed. Then this opportunity came up. I need to have stock cats in order to take advantage of this deal (R&D). Hence why I needed the stock ones again. I tossed my originals, as I figured I'd never need them plus, where was I gonna store them (small SOCAL home)?!?!

    I didn't have the $ to get this deal, but, my family came through for me... basically, the $ is from when my Dad passed in December 2005. My Dad was a Dodge guy. He once owned a 1964 Plymouth Fury Sport, even bought the first generation Minivan for the family. He would have LOVED our SRT8's if he was here to experience them. So, although I will be re-funding the fund, over time, where this $ is coming from, my Dad made this possible and I hope he'd be proud of my car once its finished.

    I also want to thank all of you that took the time to respond/PM me... all of you guys rock and are always there to help... and bust my balls.

    Your support and friendship is not forgotten... just ask lead-foot Moe!

    I assume it would be fruitless to ask for any sort of technical details? Like what kind it is? Where it's mounted? How much boost or HP they're expecting?

    Heh, it says currently testing 2007 - 2008 vehicles and it's already available for 2005-2006 vehicles. Have we heard about that?

    AND they're planning to go for emissions certification?

    Well, its not quite available for 2005/2006 yet. The hardware is ready, the tuning is being worked on. Give it a couple more weeks till they start shipping.

    ***Thanks Adam for posting the link.

    I'm going with the satin finish. I'm not a big 'looks' guy, and saving the extra $$$ means new tires, which I'll need soon.

    The looks may come later, and I could have Drew's kids fingerpaint the blower/intercooler to match his paintjob.

    Wow, that is sooooooooooo awesome for Jason, if anyone really needed something like this it was him, what a deal! All that time trying to decide what mods to get and really wanting the i-charger and then to have this happen, don't you all just love it when things go right for good people!!! Right on bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    So Ryan get's one too? He mentioned that to me, is that the same deal as you're doing Jason??

    Rick, that "blowers and strokers" remark was just too easy so I let others go on it. I will say this tho ... Moe's prolly waiting for the first Carbon Fiber blower, lol! (sorry Moe, couldn't resist!)

    And Dave, why so intersted, you planning a little "upgrade" soon????
