I'm becomming a fan of the PQ's I was talking to a PQ/Sonic dealer and he favored the PQ! And from what I've see they seem to be well built

Question 2) If you add a charger do you have to run a higher octane fuel?

Sox, were you at Tomes? (Sonic and PQ sold there)

Hi Octane is always better if your Huffed.....but an intercooler is a definite....my 2 cents
