Vx220's are still so expensive
Otherwise I'd be tempted to get one and do this

a decent na will set you back about 10k and the supercharger will cost you about 3.5k

yea they dont seem to be dipping much in price at all which is y i am not sure if to sell mine or not!
with current interest rates the money wont make any more in a bank than sitting in the shed in shape of vx220:-)

the rev limit on it is limited to 5500, but it will be moved to 6800 once i go see courtenay on the 17th.
that should give the chance to get to 60 in 2nd
