i had big plans on installing a supercharger on my great 'o5 mustang gt. i went to a well known mustang only speed shop here in los angeles to get things set up. to their credit they sat me down and explained a few things. they have had 6 customers (all '05's) go up in smoke due to the blower. apparently the new 3- valve engine has a hard time with the pressure and the way the blower leans out on top end. also, the new engine has something called "powdered" steel rods. don't know what that means but they also are suspect. the speed shop says the magic number seems to be 400 lbs torque, don't go above it. they did say that they have had success with tuning and if you decide to do it stay around 8 lbs boost or lower. they said that they would be happy to install it for me but wanted me to be aware of some of the problems that have come up. so i kinda think they may be on the up and up. bottom line.............BE CAREFUL OUT THERE !!!
Just had saleen stage2 kit (Brenspeed) put on my car with 29000 on it. Runs great. 426RWHP/409T on dynojet.
The term "powdered rods" - I work fora company that makes powdered metal forming machines. The term powdered rods comes from the process in which the rods were made. Quite literally very a fine powdered metal mixture is forced into a mold whic his then compressed together at a very high pressure (as high as 2000 ton psi). When the mold is opened the rod (or part) is ejected from the mold but holds its shape, in some instances in this state the latent part if dropped will crumble. The part then goes through a veru hig temperature cintering (heat) process through an oven at temps well above 2500 deg F. This process molecularly bonds the powder together forming a solid part. A final "re-striking process" (just like when they strike a coin at the mint) will be performed on the part which insures part shape and accuracy. Any final processing will take place thereafter such as machining. Piston rods along with timing gears are some of the more common parts that use this process. This is the basic process in simple form.
Forging is much superior and I am sure that we are all more aware of how the forging process w/o details. Hope this helps you out. The GT500 5.4 uses forged piston rods and is capable of handling much higher boost levels.

Had brenspeed install the stage 3 saleen supercharger a few months ago.Drove the car to them 850 miles.3500 miles later it is leaking between the gear case and rotor housing.It is under warrenty and they will swap it out,but can't afford to take off and haul it back.I am going to have our ford dealer remove it and send it to them.
anyone else have this problem.
