    Seems like you need to go back to elementary school and learn some basic terminology. You obviously have been wasting your tuition money, as you haven't learned even the basics.

    I never backpedalled - if you were able to read, comprehend, and remember anything from the other thread, you would know that E36Slide stated that he does his own work, and that he could get parts from junkyards. I trust that he has enough memory to recall that in this thread THAT WAS TITLED FOR HIM.
    You said you could build a Stang to run 9s for less than $5000. You then posted a link to a supercharger that was already $4500, it's supporting mods total OVER $5000. For the average person who doesn't install everything themselves, that's WELL OVER $5000.

    What's the issue here? Can you not count?

    I can understand the issues you guys are having here with needing to add in the supporting mod cost but I believe my video in post 10 clears it up pretty nicely.
    Under $5,000 in mods and 9's in the quarter. Not bad for a Mustang.

    The issue seems to be your brain. E36Slide doesn't take his car to a shop, nor does he source new parts as he clearly discussed that he could get parts even from a junkyard. I'm guessing that you've never installed a supercharger before, but I have installed quite a few, and they really aren't very hard. There are many people that can install them without needing a shop. I posted a link to a 3.4 that sold for $3100, and another that was asking $3500. I also posted a link to a fuel system that someone was asking $900. Obviously, the math tells you that you can get the supercharger and fuel system for around $4k. I didn't think that I needed to explain that to you, but it appears I was wrong, and that you actually do need hand-holding.
