Yeah, you guys know the drill pretty well. In this case, my insurance company has cut one check made out to both me and the shop. This joint check will be endorsed by both of us and the shop gets paid to do whatever I want done.

I suppose I could pay them for what they've done so far, tear down etc, take the balance and have something else swapped in by whoever and for whatever the best deal I could find would be.

If I get the 3.0 I'll probably have to pull it out of there since I'm not too sure if they are capable of this, or willing for that matter.

It's time to really shop around and compare prices for parts as well as labor. If I could come out of this with some cash left over for extra "stuff" that would be sweet.

Who knows maybe a SUPERCHARGER or something.
