I love your honesty and questions....and id like to ask you something?

Why have a $25,000 motor...383...800hp/rear wheels...thnks TAD?DON at Superior Automotive...so much power and Bags?

Why have a $25,000 audio system/IPAD4/10,000 watt/150 db...with so Much hp and Bags?

Why have a $15,000 undercarriage/SPC racing arms/spohn racing/boxed and molded frame.and Accuair Ilevel air bag sytem...etc..Thank you Jeff @ Devious Customs.with so Much HP and Bags?

Why have a $10,000 paint job ...thank you Doug @ Starbucks,,,with all this Power?

Why have a $10,000...Italian Leather/Alacantara...thank you California Uposltery.... with all this power and Bags?

Why...well...i can go on...maybe another 20-30...but i will stop...i will answer why

Because i Own Reds Hydraulics....its my Job...to Lower cars....lets park next to each other and see what happens...while im laying Frame?

Plus...if Bags dont work...i can afford to buy your $200 springs...i think?

ur cash don't impress me bro, and talking to me like this is just bs....

I asked a simple question, why so much hp on bags, I didn't knock the car I didn't talk **** nothing like that.

I was always under the impression big hp and bags don't mix.

but w/e man enjoy ur car

Wolf...you took it wrong...please read

wolf...you took it wrong.,...totally...i was answering your quest and Sstreetking quest about how much i have into it....i was being honest with him...my answer to your quest was that i own a custom suspension shop that does air bags/ hydros....why not build a fun car with alot hp and show off the durabilty and reliabilty of a properly built air bag system....if it works behind a 5,000 lb + car with 800+ hp...why wouldnt it work any any other car...where the customer is always sceptical about the problems/reliabity of air bags....thats all i was saying...i told you ...i like your honesty and i wanna meet all you guys in SS clubs ...i wanna get honest feed back and make this car even better....its not about the money...i want it nice...it was my brothers...and he passed away over 2 yrs ago...im making it nice as i can...for him..i still feel him Rollin with me in it!!! So please dont think im a Prick or Stuck up....ASK TAD....no way am i like that and i wanna be everyones friend on here...esp yours? Cool?

So I look at this really nice engine bay shot, and a lot of other twin turbos, and I keep wondering, why they no longer make, or people don't use, mirror image turbos (where the snail shaped bit is clockwise on one side of the engine and counter clockwise on the other). I swear I've seen them that way 20 years ago. Is it just not done any more or did I dream it all those years back? It sure would help clean up the plumbing!!
