Nice, I sure would of done a before and after dyno though.
Would of been great to know exactly how much power you picked up.
Guess you can find a guy in your area with a stock GT and have him come to the dyno with you. Dyno his car, then yours on the same dyno, same day.
Not exact, but you can at least know approx. how much power the s/c gave you.
Now get some fatter rubber and hit a strip too, and see what you can do.

Congrats....I'm certain you'll enjoy having the SC as much as I do.
You may see a bit of lubricant weep from the idler pulley below the blower snout for a few hundred miles; don't be alarmed it's normal and will stop in a few hundred miles.

Yeah i got the car back Friday night, headed to Austin for the cruise Saturday morning and pit a good 600 miles on the car round trip. Gauges started acting crazy today after i washed the car, speedo stopped working, low fuel tone came on, check engine light, but the car had a full tank of gas and was running perfectly at the time. Not sure what to think, pulled cables off the battery and let it sit for 15 min, started it up, drive 5 or 6 miles and all is good still, no issues are warning lights. I am taking it in tomorrow just to be sure though.

BTW did you need that panhard after installing the stage 3 kit, or did you just order it at the same time assuming you would? i am going to have to get the stop the hop kit too I think, had some massive wheel hop on the first hard launch i have done since i got the blower. It's crazy though, the car pulls harder in 5th trying to pass on the highway than it did in 3rd before.
