The intercooled Procharger is on my want list, but I have other financial priorities right now.

Friend of mine has the Roushcharger on his GT 5-speed. He had the 4.10's installed after driving mine and he's lovin' the low end torque. With a centrifugal, you will be set up nice for 2nd and 3rd gear.

That's exactly why the centri s/c interests me. I don't want (or need) to see boost at <3k rpm, especially with 4.10 gearing and cams. I want it to pull like a beast when I get into it at >3-4k rpm around the point my frpp cams start making power up to 6800 rpm. that's why I want a centri...

just to let you know this is what c&l said about their intake today...

"Just patience everyone, they're still a ways out on being sold to the public. We should have atleast 3 different setups tested at C&L within the next two months."

Awesome! Just in time for my centri s/c. The C&L intake will replace the delete plates so now the pulleys and delete plates are off the list. Man you guys are great for info/bouncing ideas off of!

So I'll probably get the electric water pump and COP's next week then have my car dyno'd on the "local" dynojet dyno to see where I'm at. Then the larger TB, intake and S/C at the same time. I see a forged engine in my future...

But wait! suspension! this car is a money pit lol

Don't buy a throttle body unless it's a black diamond, and you'll loser power on that unless you have your s/c. I had nothing but problems out of mine and did quite a bit or research on it, most expensive paper weight I ever bought :/

I had the BBK, and I'm not the type to normally bash on a product but I had a terrible experience with it and their customer service was not helpful at all to my tuner. Long story short, that piece right there is the only thing I'd spend money on

From all of the more "technical" forums, they say with a centri and a turbo a Aftermarket Throttlebody doesnt really do anything until around 800rwhp. Where it really starts to shine is around 12psi+ on a twin screw s/c
