Brian's porting a spare M-122 Eaton that I bought a few months back. I had a 2.40" upper pulley made and am machining the snout to accept it. I have never heard of an Eaton roots blower grenading. Sorry to hear that. They are generally very durable superchargers.

You will love it,Brian portted mine and it was worth every penny, Me and the wife also toured the shop. Brian is a great guy and he knows what he is doing. Tell him Dan and Kim said hello.

Oops? I guess I should have read closer. You said Eaton from Posi. NOT Eaton Posi (as in posi traction unit for the rear end). It was my rear end that grenaded not the supercharger. Sorry about that!

Sa-When... FYI Shelbyville, Indiana is also located in Shelby County. My old stomping ground...

I'm not an owner yet, but I'm in Jackson. I will hopefully be in the market for a '10-'11 starting about May. I'll have about 20-25K in the bank to drop a down payment on one. There's one in Hendersonville right now that is THE one I'm looking for. '10 Black w/ Black Stripes, NAV, 23K miles. I saw where CarMax in Memphis just got in a '10 Black as well. Have any of you dealt with them?

I've seen two so far in the 2 years I've been here. A red '07-'09 (last summer) and a Gray w/ White stripes '07-'09 just the other day.

Thanks for the tip. I'm really hoping that the '10-'11 market gets a tad flooded when the '13 comes out. I'll be looking to snatch something up for around 40K out the door.

Have you heard anything out of "Auto Wise" in Hendersonville?

go to svtoanashville.com and ask around.. they are based out of Nashville and someone should know something about them..I would think with 23k miles it would be a little less then 38k..

You do not have to register for Tupelo unless you plan to go to the banquet in the evening. We have Mike Laney from Ford Racing as our guest speaker for the banquet. Come on down! Also Sunday should be a great day starting with a pancake breakfast at the museum, a cruise to George Poteet's home to see his private collection of over 70 cars and then to Holly Springs drag strip for a few hours of 1/8 mile drag racing!
