    Everyone here needs to relax, you guys are getting it all wrong. See, to be a true budget SAS, you use a soldering iron, NOT a welder. It adds horsepower while reducing rotational mass. That explains his pics ;)

    I saw a legitimate SAS in Auburn about 3 hrs ago. Asked 'em how much he spent, and the guy ballparked it around $6500-$7000.

    Said he really didn't wanna know the exact amount haha

    Nice pics.

    I still don't believe it was done for $3000, though. And you NEED to fix those welds.
