Yesterday I got word that my new tires from TireRack had arrived at the installer I picked. I always use this installer due to the quality of their operation(latest computer balancing machine, use plastic coated sockets to protect wheels, torque wrench only, etc.
One of the things they do is when they have the wheels on is to take the car out of the shop and drive up the street a couple of blocks. Then they bring the car to the parking lot in front of the office and retorque the wheels where you can see them thru the glass front.
The owner is a track junkie(BMW CCA) and we always get to talking about our cars, etc. I told him about putting on the PW supercharger. When they called on the intercom to say that they were bringing the car around, I asked the owner if he thought the tech would notice the supercharger. He replied "If he does, he will probably tell me about it after you leave. Probably some remark about how peppy the car is."
The tech pulled up out front, retorqued the wheels and came in thru the front door. The first words out of his mouth were "What do you have in that thing? A 302?" The owner got to laughing so hard he had to get a drink of water. And after the tech rounded up all the other mechanics I got to show off the installation and explain it to the whole group.
I have really enjoyed having the PowerWorks on my car but the tech's comments are the highlight of my experience so far
