    As soon as my tax return comes in I'm going to be doing a tear down on the car to fix a couple issues and mod. Planning on porting the TB, supercharger, and lower intake manifold. I have the grinder for removing larger parts but will need the dremel, flapper wheel, and porting bits.

    So what do u guys suggest as far as tools to get the job done. Don't want to spend a fortune but want decent tools that i wwont have to worry about.
    No More GTP for me.

    Dremel would take for ever, you need an air compressor and a die grinder.

    Airpower is the only way to go and BTW if your working on aluminum dip the bits in ATF to keep metal building up on the bits.
