Re: will I kill it?(turboing a 90)

1st off why do you need to decide by Thursday?  You should do some heavy
duty investigating on what exactly they are planning on doing.  What kind of
safety features are there to prevent detonation and other related problems?
What levels of boost are they going to put on it?  What about running on
pump gas?   Will you have to run with octane booster all of the time?  What
kind of warranty/guarentee are they offering?  What if this thing blows up a
week after they are done.
What is a reasonable sum of money for you to spend?  If you are paying over
$2k dollars US than you should really consider some other options.  If they
pressured you to make a decision by Thursday they are not worth doing
business with IMO.
