If $$ is the case, then what about the guys who put a TTi X kit on a completely stock bottom end?? Does that mean they dont have enough money to invest in the ENTIRE project? NO, Its cause they dont want to.

We pick up blower kits and put them on for about 4 grand total because we can buy them used. We couldn't touch a twin turbo kit for under 8-9 grand. That is a huge difference. So a majority of the people I know who have blowers wish they could have twin turbos, but don't have the extra money. We aren't rich, so we have to work with what he have.

I am thirty-six, going on three and generally act like I am four.
We have F/I guys that are customers at Synergymotorsports.net that are between 18-72 years old. The seventy-two year old just bought some ECS supercharger stuff from us. lol.
We look at each car, as a total project based on the persons budget and horsepower goals, to complete it as a fun, go fast and reliable daily driver package.
If you have a F/I truck, an F/I f-body, F/I Corvette, F/I Viper, GT40, Custom Car or Mercedes 65 series, they are all good cars to us.
Everyone gets treated like they are brethern and the customers all do the same with each other, no matter what their budget or goals.

Right now For daily drivability+ gas mileage. I'm assuming most would agree on a S/C?
