I would like to thank everyone for all the positive feedback and ofcourse the positive votes! Don't forget to VOTE!!!
First, I want to go on the record right now and say most of my ideas for this van came from the One Lap of America racing Odysseys:
2007 One Lap Odyssey Part 1
2007 One Lap Odyssey Part 2
Next, I am modifying this van mostly for performance now and I am not too concerned with anything else. The supercharger alone will cost more money that I have put into modifying this vehicle all together.

6. When the time comes a RL engine swap
7. Comptech supercharger for the Ridgeline engine
Yes, that is ONE of the Silverline exhaust tips on the DRIVERS Side! See page 2 for full details...
Why I decided not to go with the 22" wheels:
First I lowered the van and that would require I go with a very expensive very low profile tire: 235 35r22 @ $250 per tire not including the added fees. If I went this route then I just might as well have kept the PAX. Current Tire cost: $650 for four new tires all costs included.
Second, as the tire people recommended,"... to go with a lower profile tire, your risk is higher to road damage etc." Yep, he has alot of blown and messed up tires and wheels in the shop from hitting ivisible speed bumbs and potholes at night. There was a Ford Truck that was towed to the shop with all four tires blown and 2 wheels that were damaged. I am not saying I am immune to the same issues, but since I have a 40 aspect ratio, I have a better chance of survival!
Third and last issue for me: 50,000 miles in the last year. You get the picture. I still am however kicking around the idea to put 22" on just the back. However, if I pick up a sponsor, then tires will not matter.
