For now I'm going to enjoy people thinking I've got a GS300 . SU-PRISE

Dave, what is your secret to such beautiful pics?????? I still cannot take pics like that. I am absolutely positive it has nothing to do with my camera - but everything to do with my lack of skill.
Your car looks so awesome. Can we see some full shots of your car now and not just sections of it????

Camera is definitely part of it - my new(er) G5 takes better shots than my old Sony. I've found three things that make a big difference in my auto pics.
1) A stable surface to put the camera on (not holding it). A decent tripod is best (and what I used for these). 2) Use the timer so you are not moving the camera when you take the picture. Push it and run away. 3) Take two pictures, one with flash one without. Depending on the angle and surface, one will look better and you won't wish you'd done it the other way. Just take two and delete the one that doesn't look as good.
We can carry on the photo discussion in PM or in another thread if you want to keep this one on topic .

Damn Dave.......(speechless)
how is the noise level of the Supercharger? I guess you don't have to worry about smog in your state.
Only if California has less stringent smog laws.......
Has anyone in Cali tried RMM supercharger and passed smog test?

I'm definitely putting the badges back on.
Also, Dex (who seldom surfs CL these days) didn't know about the SC until he had a slow day at work and stumbled onto this thread this afternoon, lol . I was going to suprise him last weekend and take him for a joy ride (hide the boost gauge with a tissue box) or sucker him into a race but he ended up not getting up here. I answered the phone and this angry voice was like "SO WHEN WERE YOU GOING TO TELL ME", lol.
I'm still amazed at how quiet this thing is. If it didn't have the BOV, I'd say it was quieter overall than my SRT intake was from inside the car. You can hear a little hiss at idle and that's about it... the bigger injectors make a little more noise too. I'll take a video with some good sound when I post a more detailed SC writeup. I did take a couple with my Canon G5 during dyno tuning at SRT where you can hear the BOV.

Except for the BOV at the end, very similar to the sound of my car on dyno with only the SRT intake.
