Default My '13 Mustang GT, now supercharged :)

Hi guys,
I haven't posted on here in a while, but the build has continued on the Mustang.
Yes, I still have my Focus, and it's still for sale,

The Mustang recently received a 2.3L Whipple blower, 3,25" pulley, ID1000 injectors (96lbs/hr), a fuel pump wiring upgrade, JLT CAI, and a JDM tune putting me at 591 rwhp and 505 rwtq

Couple of pics and a video of the dyno run:

Test-fitting the drag radials, 305/40/18 on 18x10 rims:

FUN! Smooth for everyday driving but you put your foot down and the beast awakens

The fake gas cap panel is held on with 2 screws and a bunch of plastic clips, then the hump behind the cap has to be cut out for the new RTR panel to be installed, which is what I did. The RTR comes black, I had it stripped and painted Sterling Gray to match, then had a friend make me the custom decals

As far as Roush VS Whipple, I've driven both and the Roush seems to need to spool up before it delivers the power whereas the Whipple delivers it quicker, pretty much as soon as you put your foot down.
A buddy has an automatic '11 5.0 with a Roush blower on it and he just recently said he wishes he had gone with the Whipple ... after he ran a 10.9 @ 126 mph with his current set-up, lol

Thank you.
And yes, yes I AM loving it.

Just took it for a spin to the local Autozone to grab a set of spring compressors to do the girlfriend's Konis on her Shelby, and leaving the parking lot/merging onto the main road, the rear-end went wide a bit, just enough to put a smile on my face with the ease and smoothness it happened with
