NEW OR USED?
SHOULD I BUY A BRAND NEW S-TRIM SUPERCHARGER OR A 3 MONTH USED HEAD UNIT WITH BRAND NEW KIT FOR A GRAND LESS?

I'd go new, that way you get a warranty with it.. 3 months is enough time to screw one up....

I personally don't buy any used parts unless I know the seller as a friend. They're only a couple of people I will buy used equipment off of. One question. Do you need a new tranny or want a new tranny? If you don't NEED one I would buy a new blower and save a little longer till you need the tranny myself. But do what you want. I agree with dark night on the warranty also.

THE GUY I TALKED TO SAID IT HITS HARD 2 AND 3 GEAR BUT AFTER THAT IT RUNS SMOOTH SO HE BOUGHT A NEW TRANNY AND HIS OLD T-5 WAS WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND THATS CURRENTLY WHAT I HAVE. WHAT OTHER PERFORMANCE PARTS WOULD MAKE MY CAR FASTER AND RUN BETTER WITH THE BLOWER?

heads, intake and headers will help your car alot... with or without the S/C...
you might call or e-mail vortech and make sure that the warranty is transferable.. just because HE has a warranty doenst mean you'll get it... P.S. turn the caps lock off ;-) ------------------ 84 convt,'95 302,AFR's, performer 3.55's, underdrives BBK shorties stock cam, 1.7's 13.85@102.5 and a '68 stang that WAS nasty ;-) [This message has been edited by Dark Knight (edited 07-12-2001).] |
