You should stop by my shop on the way down there and get a turbo. That way your car will be fast and no blow up!! HAHA, seriously though, Tony will treat you right. Make sure and get the MAF gasket mod though!

As far as what else you should do to the car, lets start with what you are doing. Simply stating he is doing your SC leaves a lot of details out.
Are you going to road america...TOOLMAN?

When is this?

BTW, since I am probably on your way to Tony, you should stop by on your way home with your new S/C'd SHO. I would love to see it.

btw, Tony's SC setup is similar to the SS kit ?
Does he sell the kit online (and how much?) ? I want to do everything myself, and don't wanna drive from Canada to tony's shop.
My car's a long time project, but the day will come I'll be FI it.

Just make sure you don't **** yourself when you get the S/C.
It's very tempting to just rock the throttle whenever you get some space.
With that much power, you get torque steer and traction issues. I would recommend finding a wide and deserted street to get used to controlling it.
:evilgrin:

I would say traction issues more than anything. That and I cook my brakes a lot, and i'm on 11.6's with cobra calapers stufed with hawk HP+. i think its time for some willwoods for my car.

definately get a feal for your braking distances. 120-140 comes around at a alarming rate. especially in teh ATX where your 85-140 is in one gear. It is very easy to loose track of how fast your going.

x2 on that. When I took my car back to 2nd Creek, I ran it off on turn 1. I tried braking where I used to when the car was N/A. Thankfully, Turn 1 had a run off for me to run off into. BTW Turn 1 is was at the end of the front stretch, probably carried a few more mph's than I was used to.
