JP's 3.2 will hopefully be running by the end of the week (That is the plan anyway, though the tuning will not be done). Headers are back, brackets are back from the CNC, throttle plenum has been fabricated, so we are ready to bolt it together this week. Hopefully it will be moving around the shop under it's own power within a few days.
Thanks for the advice. Does adding the supercharger for the 3.2 require a catalyc converter bypass?

The primary cats will no longer be present, but the 2ndary cats will stay in place. We have to remove the primary cats because they are in the way of the brackets. This is why the 3.2 and 2.7 require the custom headers.

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

What's up Doc (like you never heard that before...sorry)!

For clarity, you say "fired off" ...as in fired-up/started/running...or shiped out to a customer???

Doc, can you tell us how your SC kit compares to the TPC one that's been out a while? Does yours have more boost, is it better made, runs cooler, or what?
