Mike,
I have a CC, Deep Amethyst. I will be doing some mods to it soon. I have
a Vortech S-Trim supercharger that I removed from my 94 Dak that I will fit
to the R/T. I don't know what I'll have to do to install it. I'm going to
call Vortech when I get the time. I also have a single plane M1 manifold
that I will have drilled for injectors and a set of Magnecor 8.5 wires. I
have to be careful what I do because my wife is eyeballing the money. I
have to try to sneak some mods by her. Eventually I will do a cam, roller
rockers, throttle body, headers, computer, and a shift kit.
