30 minutes is all it'll take. More power and better fuel mileage. Vastly improved throttle response.

Don't use a die-grinder on the LIM. It cuts too fast, and that aluminum is too soft. The inside radius of the port corners requires a 1/8" bit anyway, not 1/4". Use a dremel. It'* all you need.

not sure if i'll even work on the bonnie today.
hopefully the local autoparts store is open today w/ the holiday weekend an all. my jeep started missing last night.
hopefully swapping out the 120k mile plus cap/rotor/plugs and wires corrects issue. then going to help friend replace brake lines and exhaust manifold gaskets. will probably spend more time on the road driving than actually working.
imagine i put all this time into the turbo regal.

can't believe the condition of this thing. actual price paid was $35 w/ $20 shipping.
fact that bearing carrier plate which holds gears/roots is not painted makes me believe that was replaces too. look at how clean the oil is.
i can't see a reason to not just bolt it on...
this is unfortunate but i cannot complain.

The deal you got on that supercharger is amazing. I haven't seen any mention of what you'll do with the old one. Do you have any ideas for recycling it?
