Hey John,
That's easy: Austin Performance. They're a bunch of "Good old Boys" (Mike and
Bill) and they're also Mopar fanatics. :) If they don't stock it, they'll
order it for you and have matched those "Website Prices" as well. Fuel,
Nitrous, Blowers, you name it...they'll get it (and fill it).
Lamar and Braker...next to the Corvette Shop
Tips:
(1) Bruces' Billet 50MM Throttle Body
(2) K&N Gen-II Intake System
(3) Mopar Headers
(4) MSD Ignition
(5) Dynomax UltraFlow (Y-Design) Muffler - Keep the pipes factory if you're
gonna offrad that baby.
(6) Autolite Plugs
That'll get ya movin' a lot better.
If ya want to check it out on a laptop i'm right by ya. (Pflugerville)
