I think you should use roman numerals. Crossfire 55K I, 55K II, 55K III,
55K IV..... you get it.
Like in Entourage? TRTL I, TRTL II... LOL

I'll do it but only in a coupe because that motor puts down so much torque it would shred a roadster and this pretty much goes without saying but it will be a LOT more than the V8 conversion.

would be awesome! but I bet the 55K is the better engine for the Crossfire, the power to weight ratio.

Rudy, from the look of the picture you posted you could call it the "Black Max Edition" or maybe you're giving us a clue? Tell me it's not going in that POS that's been bouncing from dealer to dealer?

I don't think you can get the power to weight ratio where you couldn't handle it with this car but the torque is ungodly with the V12s so yeah, at least in the roadster, the 55K motor would be better.

Thank you. It means a lot to hear that.

That wouldn't actually be a bad idea but fortunately for me it's not. I wouldn't want to have to undo all the dumb **** they did to that car and who in their right mind would be rockin' a supercharged V8 but still have cloth seats. I'll keep my heated leather seats thank you very much! LOL

I think you should number it No. 1/Black.. I mean the other is No.1/Yellow.

I Double Dog Dare you to come. Only problem is you don't have a Crossfire VIN number... You know how those member affiliation thingies work right?

I think the numbering system should be based on all V8 Crossfire's starting with 001 and add a "K" if supercharged. Gerhard's car will always be the first V8 and Max is the second, mine was third. Using this method shows respect for the conversions that others have done before us. You could add a number after the K as well. Using this system. I would be 003 (until I add the super charger in a couple of months) and Taz would be 004K1. If I was to add a s/c or just swith to the 55K, I would then be 003K2 assuiming I get it done before the next one rolls out of your shop.
