Might as well have lunch at IHOP (HOOTERS) – just can’t think of anywhere else to go???

garnet92 - I think you're forgetting that (HOOTERS) dallas is nothing but a (HOOTERS) white trash city. I mean how many attractive (HOOTERS) women can there be in a city of 2 million (HOOTERS)?

PS (HOOTERS) women are only good to look at when the waitresses aren't hired based on their (HOOTERS) personality.

I totally agree. It does however vary with air temperature and humidity. There's days I barely notice it and other days it gets on my nerves because it's MUCH louder.

It is noisy, especially when you drive like a normal person. ...

But, there is a loss of power at low end – it’s made up in middle ranges and wot. ...

If I were to do it again, I’d do the TC first and skip the intake.

Yup, I didn't get the intake for these reasons. I've been in DaveGS4's car with the TC and it's "different". It may get power to the ground more quickly, but it felt like the transmission is almost continually slipping, almost like I expect one of those continuously variable transmissions is like. It's a lot of dough to shell out too and not something I'd do while the car is under warranty. I also know someone who completely destroyed their transmission with a TC installed. $6500 to replace - ouch.

Maybe when my car's 4 years old I'll drive up to Mo's, get a TC, supercharger and intake and maybe get an ES300 for quiet driving and my hot rod GS for fast blasts.
