Vortech S-trim. Turbo's are alot of work to maintain and can be a pain in the *** to tune. This is just my opinion of course.

I still don't see why people even consider the procharger kits for the 5.0. It's the worst design I have seen.

I'm talking the over all design of the kit. Where they place things such as the air filter. [:@] It definately don't belong over the headers! The pretty much negates the fact that it has a intercooler.
