    Just out of curiosity... have you passed the point where just buying a rebuilt engine would have been cheaper?

    Look at it this way - when you get the car back it will feel like it does have a supercharger, compared to how it felt before. lugnutjon figured it was down a good 30-40 horses from my car when he drove it.

    I have been sitting at the house without transportation for around a month.
    It SuX!...lol
    If I really need to do something I have the Exterra, just have to take the wife to work then go get her for lunch, then go pick her up and that's too much work so I have been for the most part here doing things around the house that need to be done.

    Billy (and anyone else),
    If you need work, I've got lots to do in Granbury. How are you with a saw and lots of trees/brush to be cut down? How about laying carpet? Landscaping? Sheetrock/tape & bed? Ditch digging? Dirt moving?
