Unless you want to build a motor down the road and go over 9 psi, the M90 is a great choice. The stock clutch has been measured to 500 ftlbs of torque before slipping, so again, unless you are going to build a motor and go over 9 psi, no problems.

For your goal of 425 rwhp, I would most definately save the money and go with the M90.. Even after upgrading to a smaller pulley and all, it is still less expensive than a whipple HO.

I haven't personally driven the M90, but a mustang club member here in Billings put one on his 2010 and loves it. It sounds great, looks very nice under the hood (very stock-like appearance), and from what I hear is easy to install.

As far as shows go, you will seldom, if ever, get any flack for your car. However, once you get into that whole world, you will eventually hear people talking smack about other cars and car owners, just like anywhere else. The upside is, the complaints are usually about you having too "new" of a car for a show, or for having a bone stock car at a show. Personally, I think anyone who is proud of their car and keeps it nicely detailed belongs there to show off what they have, but I secretly tend to draw the line at a bone stock late model car particularly if it is poorly detailed.. A blower qualifies you to get past that one little thing, so I say go for it! With very few exceptions, popping the hood to show off your blower will get a "wow" or an "oooh". Just always remember, most of the people at that show have less horsepower than you, with a bigger engine... If you do get flack from anyone, they are just jealous.
