I've never really looked at the s/c idea in depth until very recently, but does an LSJ intake manifold / blower come up for sale locally here often? Or will that definitely need to be purchased from another area? I know there's alot of s/c's around here, but no-one really converting to t/c.. So basically I'm just asking how common it is to find a local member selling one or both parts and what kind of price ranges they are.. I started looking at other members for sale areas, but always like to give local guys business first..

i've hardly seen any around here for sale. keep an eye on the classified section though for guys doin turbo swaps. if you do get one it's most likely comin from another state.

111 K miles and my SC is still in tact...

Every now and then when I'm parked downhill, the car will give me the marble sound on startup.

36K/3 year bumper to bumper and 60K/5year powertrain warranty (05's and 06's were that way)

The Marble sound is the coupler inside the supercharger that couples the nose of the supercharger to the blades inside the supercharger....Easy to fix.

Yea it makes no sense. GM has been having this problem for years and years with the Grand Prix's and Then when they put them on the Montie SS's that were supercharged again they had that issue. I mean you would think they would come up with a much better solution...

Sad but true.

And damn you Brian for bringing up the promising SCCA results. I'd love to have a more powerful, better handling car and still be in stock class. LOL.
