    Update as of Sunday 9/29/2013 Sorry I wasn't able to post much yesterday. I was in the belly of the beast so to say. All in all, I'd say I'm about 80 - 85% done overall. I worked alone for about 2 hours starting at 5 am yesterday, then buddies came over and we worked till 2 pm. I then...

    Thanks man! The airraid intake won't work with the magnuson kit. Their research has shown that their best gains are through the stock box... I talked to magnuson directly :)

    Thanks bob. Yes the stock hood should cover the magnuson charger. It's designed to fit under the stock hood. What charger do you have for your vette?

    Well folks, as most of you know, I crossed over to the dark side the other day. I finally was able to purchase my very first supercharger kit. I've been toying with the idea for years... and almost did it last fall, but due to unforeseen circumstances, put it on hold. However, the stars...

    Blackfire Sealant

    My first experience with this last fall was not that impressive... but this summer I gave it another chance, and now it's slowly creeping up my fave sealant list. It's durability, slickness, and it's flake-popping ability are its best assets. It's very comparable to 4Star UPP actually... I'm...

    Yeah BL is supposed to have some abrasives in it. I applied mine via PC at speed 4... No pressure. If its swirled, why not deswirl/buff it?
