I plan on doing this soon...continued post would be appreciated. Good luck with the install...Boogity, boogity, boogity!!!
No I didn't steal that from Darrel Waltrip...he stole it from me, and for the record, I HATE it when he starts every NASCAR race with it...it's stupid!
Again...good luck with the Supercharger install...any install tips (after you're done) would be very helpful.

Thanks for the help
Justin , I want to thank you for your post on the wide body install. I didn't put a wide body on yet but it helped me after I ran over some real big junk outside of Chicago.Wiped out air dams and wheel well and components. I can't wait to see supercharger install. Thanks ,Gerry..

They're in the paint shop... I got tired of polishing them...
So here's some more stuff. Got the radiator support re-welded so that I could lower the radiator without having to drop the entire bracket/skid frame.
Got my A&A 8 Rib Crank Pulley in the mail today, along with some injector adapters from Katech, Still waiting on my Flip-Drive kit from Cartek though....
Took out the radiator, and steering rack so that I'd have some room to pull the factory crank pulley, and have room to install the new one as well as drill the crank/pulley for the crank pinning kit.
That's it for now.. My 8 Rib supercharger pulley is supposed to be here from procharger tomorrow. and the Flip-Drive kit is supposed to be here Wednesday of next week...

Tool box was a gift from my father (score!)
Compressor was traded for an old junky laptop
Got all of my widebody parts at cost due to a nice friend who works at GM
Front widebody fenders are Carvaggiao, got those used from a forum member.
Picked up the supercharger locally used.
Headers were used as well
Got my Borla Stingers at a ridiculous price, would probably get me in trouble to say how much...
Big Garage is actually a 25'x40' shop that I was lucky enough to talk the wife into liking the house that sits next to it.
haha Nice thing about Oklahoma is the real estate prices.. Purchaded my house 1400sq/ft with shop and 2 acres for 85K so that left me some "wiggle" room to buy the car, which I also think I got a very good price on. Oh yeah, and the kicker, no kids
