Ok, so finally Im getting 3/4 of my dream! The ultimate want was a factory black calais turbo, but instead im getting a factory black (over silver) N/A. One good part is that i still have my old VL and can swap the manual box extractors/zorst etc over to the calais if I wish. Thinking of either turbo or supercharging it, if I supercharge it, I will most likely go for a Vortech style supercharger, not the sc14 type. It has 18 inch Vault chromies on it. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

It's a six, and I would supercharge it because I think a supercharger would be more suited to me, although having said that, I might still turbo, just undecided as yet. If anyone can offer pro's or cons about either, I will take it all into consideration. Cheers.
