Haha thanks! and it didn't cost me 300-400 bucks for it either..20 bucks with shipping.

So I've decided that after i pay off my credit card since that is my biggest priority now, but once that's payed off I'll be wanting to get an eldelbrock performer x just because It will be easier . I won't need a tune, and I can install it all my self and will be boosting right after the install.

good idea
you'll only need a couple extra things, like gauges (nice to see what's going on), turbo timer, and a boost controller (I hear that the box that comes with the kit is tuned up to 10psi, so you should turn it up)

2 L brackets, 2 screws, 2 bolts and 2 locking nuts and this is what you have later all costing 10 bucks. Oh ya I used 4 Gm Interior retainers to cover the screw holes

Thanks for the criticism. I'd personally wish to have no front licence plate, but what can you do?

Painted my Valve cover wrinkle black and is drying in my garage as I write this.

Talked to my buddy who now works for a salvage company. He told me he can pick me up brand new rims and tires off a vehicle for 15 bucks each (rim+tire) even said he saw the rims i wanted konig ultra lights bronze (I might start buying any 4x100 rims and tires off of him for that price and start flogging them). I'm going to see him tomorrow to shoot the **** and give him a parts list. He also told me he can sell me gas for 40cents a liter instead of paying 98cents. Very cool.
