0verb00st, I think Chris bought it for $13 000. The owner probably wanted to sell it for $15 000 before but brought the price down $2000. There's NO way anyone in their right mind would sell a GTUs with those specs and in that condition for $2000.

One of the cleanest cars I have seen in a long time. Def one of the better supercharger setups I've seen as well.

WHOA that is nice! I'm really jealous!

By the way, you know you can remove that last piece of the original intake, right? towards the front, on top of the fan shroud.

Have you dynoed it yet? I'd like to know how much you're making with that supercharger.

sweet car and great setup. What hp are you pushing? seems like a good idea to go TII tranny and rear end if you're pushing high HP (plus I like the feel of the TII tranny, seems stronger). Post more pics when you get the chance please.

I feel the same way when people fail to use any sort of punctuation and/or consistently leave out key words required for understanding.

Unless he goes turbo there won't be a need to change drivetrain. The Paxton unit won't make enough power to stress the non-turbo equipment. How many miles are on it?

Damn, for 13K, that almost tempts me to sell my GTUs!

Yes, I know. An aluminum radiator is going in and that will all come of and I will put either a cf cover or aluminum up there. The previous owner left it on I just haven't messed with it yet. It dynoed 223 to the rear. Gotham Racing and a haltech coming in the fall.

I am 44 years old. I like the sound of the RB true dual racing exhaust. I am not sure yet on the exhaust question. I did buy a 91 TII transmission with less than 1000 miles today. It will be here next week. I am putting a s4 TII rear and all the extras. I want to get it solid underneath. Then I will start with the stuff under the hood. I work on the car and Gotham Racing will work on it. It stays in it own storage unit, (don't have a garage) and is not a daily driver. I have to admit it is a little nerve racking driving in town.

Don't know the size. I will measure tomorrow. I know that it is the smallest you can use and not overdrive the sc. I was told by the guy that bought the rights to this supercharger model, that you can not get anymore than 9-10psi out of this sc. Paxton no longer handles any aspect of this model. The guys website is www.paradisewheels.com Well it doesn't seem to be working. I don't know if some supercharger guru would be able to do something hybridish with it or not. Also the kits are no longer available. Mariah Motorsports use to sell them.
