    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    There is ONLY one in the world. http://www.e-dehillerin.fr/en/home.php https://www.google.com/maps/place/Dehillerin/@48.863788,2.342796,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x8a0d9fd90f5ae79 Check their hours first, they are French. And damnit I need to get back there. They will box stuff for you to be checked...

    From April - Oct even the summer is nicer in MN than here. Lack of water can blow me.

    Couldn't agree more. I think France gets a bad rap, my experience is that the Parisians are the least nice of the French but still way nicer than what you get in Rome.

    Not to mention I have business all over the bay area. Outside of Detroit and Minneapolis it is our most dense customer base.

    My office is in Irvine so I stay in Laguna Beach. Some parts of NorCal don't sour me as bad but after being there for a week I sorely want to get the fuck out. Our development center is in Campbell which I frequent as well.

    I have it pretty easy here to. Can easily spend $250+ on a hotel per night, $150+ on dinner and so on. Just no place or food worth spending it on.

    Confuses the fuck out of me. The weather is lame, the people suck, the restaurants are horseshit and over priced, the people are idiots, everyone is a lazy premadonna, the infrastructure is retarded for the population there is, everything is fake. Sure if you can afford to live right on the ocean then fine, but for that dough there are about 3000 other places I'd rather be.

    Lord does California suck. Seriously why the fuck does anyone EVER want to live here?

    the android rooting and flashing business confused me a bit but I ended up installing usb rom. Yes that one. I have it remotely if it disappears

    Who cares, for a mobile kernel it is WAY fucking better than any stock one.

    I wasn't really an aventador fan until I went to Singapore. Seeing a couple every day made me want one more than a 458.

    Time to make it manualI have no intentions of making this car my life's work. My wife's grandmother bought the car off the showroom floor in '64, so restoring it for the wife. I could think of dozens of cars I would rather build. exactly. I know that u front though and am allocating They always start out that way. The next thing you know, you've got years and tens of thousands of dollars in them. Those parts you are missing are cheap and easy to replace, so don't sweat it too much.

    I've seen several Camaros making this power with the 427 and 2.3 TVS, with zero issues on the driveability side. Now, I LOVE me some turbos, but for simplicity's sake and the budget, the blower is a no brainer. Hell, if you want "lag," buy a big fucking centrifugal. You already know how fun those can be. 376/402's and a TVS don't make 4 digit power, not without LOTS of help. Tons of guys with 292's and Turbo's doing it.As for the budget, on my truck the Turbo is dollar for dollar the same or cheaper per HP.

Of course the turbo is always going to make more power boost for boost. It's using otherwise wasted energy to produce power. I just don't see the point in chasing numbers for a street vehicle. You are NEVER going to be able to use the power, so why buy the biggest turbo that will be a dog down low and only make power past 4K where the truck will almost never be? I am not. Could care less about numbers. Want the hairy edge of traction

    Rue Cler. Right on it. If you know where bosquette is, you know where I am. Dunno how I missed this. Awesome. Love the area. Hope you do as well.

    Again, not racing but it is a benchmark. I've seen a boat load of Turbo trucks on Performancetrucks.net in the 8's but only one supercharger truck and it is a procharger. Not saying there aren't more, but not really any PD ones. Sure there could be, not like I've seen all the trucks but I don't recall one and I have been looking.

    The I'm willing to bet a standalone ECU can do that. Can't really pull that much fuel or timing. Pulling boost though can be done...with a Centri or Turbo, Maggie/Whipple require a pulley change.

    High boost without a boost controller is pointless and non-usable. When the cost for high boost is basically the same as low boost why settle for low?

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    I'd rather go more on power and have it come on non-instantly then be where I want to be all from the go. I realize the latter feels quicker and is more nasty and that has a fun factor, but it also squashes driveability when you really want to make power. As for your 4 digit power, that is funny. Not saying it can't be done, but throw all driveability out the window. Not the case with a Turbo. At least in the LS world nearly no one breaks the 800hp barrier with superchargers, but a shit load do with Turbos. Yes, tons of exceptions but as a percentage they are trivial.

    For low power stuff sureSo 4 figures is low power? Except I want some lag, need itWhy? You're not racing it, so top end power is pointless. If by more you mean bigger then yes.Again, see my previous comment.What do you think you'd prefer. Sheer ice driving in the winter. 800hp with no lag or lag?
