You're only saying that cuz you're nervous the current wife will see this post and crush yer sack. I understand brother! Phil (another MF'er) sold me his VMP pulley puller and I have a tuner, so I'm only looking at about 300 or so to get hooked up to VMP. I havent looked for a CAI yet (trying to sell my C&L) but the way everything is routed now, I'm gonna have to do some digging. I think on the '10 Roush the intake hooks over the top to the drivers side while isnt the 09 & earlier going to the passenger side?

And the whine is like a crack addiction. I cant get enough!

Cant decide on the m90 or the new R2300. What made you pick the m90?
Going on a 2006 GT with only 9k miles. Dont want to hurt anything so leaning towards the m90.

You can run the R2300 @ 8-10 PSI and make a good amount of power have it remain very cool compared to the M90 that has to be over-spun in order to make the most power.

Unless you can get the M90 for a huge discount.

I got mine installed out the door for about 5500 from a Ford dealer, but I was concerned about factory warranty (Im at 11k miles) and longevity of the car...so decided this was a good place to start. It was either the M90 or the Saleen and would have spent more just on the SC Saleen kit and no install at 6k which for 40 more hp was not worth it to me.

Nothing wrong with the M90. It's just that people get too carried away trying the get the most power out of it and end up getting into trouble. It makes great reliable power and an awesome whine

I like the M90 because it's pretty safe for the block. Yes, I know you can run an R2300 or KB or Whipple at low PSI and be perfectly safe, but I want that M90 whine!!

OP, are you tuned by bama?? Or do you have the roush tune?

congrats on getting boosted.. its truly a gift

Im not even 400whp and its crazy fun in 1st and 2nd gear... I'll spin all the way through both, and it makes getting sideways very easy

I'm rocking centrifugal so you can't even hear it hardly, sounds more like a turbo

Roush tune, but I hit bama up and they can shoot me new tunes over apparently to get to 450 and better throttle response according to them. They've not steered me wrong in 4 years off and on with them...but I'm a little concerned about this situation because it is FI and not NA...what are your thoughts on it? I'm also waiting to hear back from Roush and AM on a catch can recommendation (no room on the drivers side for one)

I bought a Moroso catch can from AM. I like it becase you can mount it anywhere and then buy enough fuel line to make the connections to the intake and engine. I'll have to post some of mine on my '06.
