Default RE: X-Charger Discussion Thread

I'm also very much interested in purchasing the X-Charger for my Pony. From what all I've read of the X-Charger I really really love it, it sounds like a perfect match for my application...daily driver who wants power hp/tq on demand with solid reliabilty. My only concern is that I live in Southern California and I need to be street legal, don't get me wrong I would drive around in California with the kit if I wasn't such a speed freak. I've been stopped many tiimes for speeding and the cops always make a big deal of it, so.....getting the Carb approval is very important for me and for passing emissions. If the California Special kit was ready with the Carb approval....I would be on the X-Charger group buy but I'm not willing to risk if Explorer Express can't get the Carb approval. I really hope they do soon because my second option for F/I was Vortech and they come Carb approved. I'll wait and give this more time........and I'll hope for the best.

I've been stoped many times for speeding but have only been ticketed once. But, the majority of those stops....the Officers would check under my hood to see if I was running any illegal set ups. So as you can see, getting Carb approval for the X is a big plus and I hope it comes thru....not just for my sake but for all Mustang enthusiasts that live in a state with tuff emission laws.

Thanks guys for all the info & experiences you've posted. I'm very interested in getting in on the x-charger group buy, but I would like to see the "43 pages with over 130 color photos" manual for the XS5556M. Can anyone tell me where I can find the PDF? TIA

My car is a manual tranny and I dynoed at 250rwp/ 275rwtqand I think that was low personally. Doug does all the tunes for the X, so I don't think that would make any difference. I run the Cal-spec model but the hi-po model probably puts out an easy 20 rwhp more. There are also pulley options available that will increase your boost. Lastly, there is a water/meth set up offered by Doug that adds addtional HP, though I'm not sure as to the exact numbers. Great system, pretty easy install. No problems and I've had it for about 8 months.
