Hello,
It came with the supercharger, the regular cover is to thick to fit. The Magnuson 2650 is huge.

Not to bad I think I adjusted it like 5ftlbs. I remember it was close, I was surprized as I to heard they were not adjusted well. Have not rechecked it yet.

I was not able to make it to the 2023 all Camaro show at the historic XXX Root Beer Drive-In in Issaquah. It was yesterday...
My wife and I have gone every year since 2013. Was hoping to be able to make it and knock their socks off!

just imagine where your car will be at next year when u attend
give someone else a shot this year and blow them away in 2024!

I've been too busy with work to do anything but work. started this new project contracting to the Ukrainians which put all my car projects on hold till it's done. sucks but without $ there are 0 projects....need to figure out how to make $ without the work part ha!

Major Milestone!

I have been laid up for awhile, but got a major milestone accomplished! Cleaned all the stuff out of the livingroom! Wife is Very Very Happy! Happy Wife Happy Life!

I agree it should really knock them off their feet next year!

My wife has a habit of taking all my car parts and sticking them in the laundry room. Even when I tell her specifically not too. She plays dumb and acts like she didn't hear me. I guess I'm just lucky she puts up with me in the first place.
