    Super chargers are for people too scared for real power. Go turbo.

    So let's see your setup?
    Everything I see for the 1st Gen is the Supercharger, nothing about turbos...

    Welding on navy submarine shit. It’s boring. Just weld everyday. My last job was way more better.

    My last job I was a “energy services mechanic” which meant keep our section of the plant up and running. So weld shit, bolt shit, fix shit, maintain shit, etc.


    Just welding gets boring cause there’s no mental challenge. I like doing different shit and having to use my head.

    Don't minimize brain-death as a job skill. Many of us in here have excelled at this over the years. :thumbsup:

    Sup broksis.. my deployment is winding down and im looking to regear to 5.29's when i get back. Ive been out the loop for a while but need some local shop recommendations. Even outside of houston is cool . I was tempted to drive to LA for the $1700 regear including parts/labor and only 4 hour turn around time. That price is insane compared to what i got quoted from a few shops here. Hopefully there's something like that here or even around the 2k range . Thanks fellas

    look up east coast gear supply as well. They can do a core exchange and you can swap everything in your drive way. They have a great warranty and stand behind their work.
