And don't forget to install the two threaded plugs for the top of the manifold (a couple guys have missed those and had to backtrack their assembly to get them in).

nope, not yet. sorda been waiting for the local shop to have a dyno day so that i can just see some numbers. the shop (Granatelli motor sports) uses a mustang dyno i believe. a few other members that have comparable mods to mine have posted up to 212hp/245torq at the wheels on a dynojet if i remember correctly.

That is a good move. I recall at least a couple folks missing those on the early installs (hell, I almost did so myself)

It took forever for me to get this install finished and to get these pictures up. But here's some pictures of the install and how to engine bay looks now.

Me taking pictures, while they worked





Dropping the blower in



Professional shop working conditions



A few days later...








And that's the best I could do with my iPhone camera... I'll hopefully be getting it dynoed soon, and maybe a dyno tune cause I know it has more in it.

Your missing the supercharger nose support in the pics. That needs to be installed or you will ruin the supercharger bearings.
