What is that from, a '63 Studebaker?

I wonder if the ashtray full of cigarette but is included with the buy-it-now price?

At least this guy admits it's "vintage".


Paxtons are cheap because they aren't good. I learned that in the late 1970's and they haven't changed them much to make them better since then.

My favorite "Paxton guy" was wanting to run mile events but didn't have a cage in his car (he just had a jinky single hoop bar), so they wouldn't let him and he could only run the 1/2 mile. He was convinced he could run "over 150" in the standing mile, if they would only let him. I asked him what he ran in the 1/2 mile?

"110 mph" he said. I told him he'd be very lucky to run 120 in the mile and that physics didn't support his theories of acceleration.

Paxton people. You got to love them.

As a matter of fact I see missing bolts in your pic lol

Reading comprehension is not your strength, I stated that I "test fit" the manifold. I just wanted to see what it would take to make it work if I go that direction.

So basically your pic proved nothing. Move along

So basically your pic proved nothing.

Kind of like posting 3 Links to Paxton superchargers on E-bay. Any $200 Chinese turbo anywhere close to the right size will make more power than EVERY $1000 Paxton Supercharger on E-bay. A smoky 150K mille Stock GN Turbo will make more power than EVERY $1000 Paxton supercharger on Ebay.

You like superchargers and have never owned a fast Turbo. I get it. You might need to expand your horizons a little.

Move along.

Good idea.

The links were random cscs $1000 and under. And I had a turbo ta. Same basic engine as a gn aside from the heads

And the comment where someone said Chinese turbos don't blow up like they used to(used to as in up to a year ago) that's like letting a chomo babysit because he doesn't touch kids anymore lol

I understand. I have a Turbo TA and I don't know if I like it. I like the turbo, but I don't know if I like the TA all that much. I should like it because it smokes the tires and handles pretty good but I get the feeling when I drive it it wants to kill me. There isn't much forgiveness built into them and I have to relearn how to brake, because I can have boost or brakes but I can't have both for any extended amount of time.

 

[L67ss]

I mainly got it because it smoked the iroc I was also looking at at twice the price. Lol. Plus I always preferred Firebirds to camaros

 

[L67ss]

I'm sure some of what killed performance on my turbo ta was the heavy 2000 era 18" wheels. Wheel tech has come a long way since then lol

If I wanted to post info that "proves nothing", I would paste links to random ebay auctions for junk paxton superchargers.
